Since it's almost the New Year, I'd like to post some things I've been reflecting upon lately.
The past couple of years have been a blessing, to say the least. My mother has recovered beautifully, and I have found many more sources of positivity in my life. I'm incredibly lucky.
Maybe, at the time, I became distant to some or many simply because I lacked the energy within me to pursue things further, because I was so crushed by the circumstances and lacked the ability to move on. However, it's all a gigantic blur to me. I sometimes question my strength or question my outlook on life. Maybe someday it'll all piece together.
Being home brings back memories of the pain my mother endured, as well as the emotional pain my father and I endured watching her suffer the effects of chemotherapy and radiation, knowing nothing about what the future may bring, but keeping hope and faith alive. Lately though, it has brought me a greater sense of appreciation for all things. Yes, it can be difficult soaking in the memories of a bitter disease, one which now victimizes at least 1/7 of the female population. It can also grant me strength to help others overcome it in the future. I'd like to be involved in supporting breast cancer patients, seeing the devastating effects of this illness. Ultimately, I would like to-- and will, truly make a difference.
For now, I've been granted numerous opportunities for success. I have met some of the most beautiful people and I cherish their presence in my life. Yes, I'm only twenty. Wait-- I'm twenty. Wow. I'm definitely not perfect and not quite what I envisioned myself to be at this age, but I know that I am taking steps in the right direction and that fact alone is enough to make me smile day after day. With the help of numerous amazing individuals, I know that I have endless possibilities ahead of me. For this, I'm truly thankful.
Although the past is irrevocable, I'd like to acknowledge the beauty in the present and future. Although I have accepted that I'm not ever going to be completely content with myself or my reactions toward some of the challenges life has presented me with, I know I always have the option of finding the beauty within them. As I reach a new year, I hope I continue to reach out to others who may also be enduring similar circumstances. I find it important to be a positive presence in the lives of others and to be welcoming. You never know what what someone else is going through.
To everyone who's provided me with support, thank you. You're precious to me. I can truly say I know some really powerful, strong, uplifting people -- and that in itself is a blessing.
*********************
on a lighter note,
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!</font>

Things you have to believe to be a Republican today:
Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy
made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy
when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with
China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony.
The United States should get out of the United Nations, and our highest
national priority is enforcing U.N. resolutions against Iraq.
A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but
multi-national corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without
regulation.
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches
while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay.
If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex.
A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then
demand their cooperation and money.
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care
to all Americans is socialism.
HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart.
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but
creationism should be taught in schools.
A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense.
A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is
solid defense policy.
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution,
which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George
Bush's driving record is none of our business.
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a
conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for
your recovery.
You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can
tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt.
What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest, but what
Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant.
Feel free to pass this on. If you don't send it to at least 10 other people,
we're likely to be stuck with Bush for 4 more years.
Friends don't let friends vote Republican.

[31 Mar 2004|12:19am] |
The event I attended tonight showed the strength, courage, and beauty that exists in so many people. Everyday, I wish to acknowledge it more often.
If I could have one wish come true, it'd be to have the power to heal. There's so much beauty, yet so much hurt. I wish I could make a tremendous impact.
I'm going to try to focus more energy on helping people-- and less on getting burnt out in dramatic situations.

Hey people
Any ideas on how I should have my hair cut/highlighted?
I wanna do something new... but not too wild. I can't do any reddish tones or stawberry blondes because my hair has red pigment in it, and it will turn orange... So basically, when I get it highlighted, my stylist mixes this violet toner in the bleach to cancel out the red tones... Also, I have to have it toned after. So I wanna maybe keep it the same shade, or add some really light blonde and some dark/medium brown streaks in it. What do you guys think?
Hmmmm
xoxo

So I can't walk properly...
I had something on my knee
The doctor said it's most likely a fibroma...
Anyway, it was removed a few days ago
But didn't start hurting til a couple days ago
And I was able to walk then, but now it's just OUUUCH
I hope it goes away before classes start.
I went out shopping w/my aunt who's visiting & my mom...
Big mistake... I was hopping/dragging my leg...
And I'm supposed to be out & Mariannnnas party (I still <3 YOUUU) and clubbing
And instead, I'm sitting here in pain.
I don't understand how a tiny, but deep, wound can be so %!*ing painful.
But it is in the middle of my knee, and any movement stretches/pulls it...
I also think it hits some nerve ending...
Kay, too much info. I hope to be up & around soon...
Goodbye LJ! Attempt @ sleeping on my back... This is quite the challenge.
Love to everyone.
<3 xo
