Random Junk: LIVE. LOVE. LIFE: Edition

Okay so hellop! Happy New Year...

So basically I have really gone through a lot last year (2008) I started college, lived away from home, not for the first time, but yea I was away from home for about three to four months and I have learned soooooo much and grown sooo much from that experience! You really learn more about yourself when you live away from home. It was such a difficult and trying experience but it really helped me grow to love and except people for the way they are and not judge them and cast them off with some objective label, now I am not going to lie I do from time to time slip up and bash people for their unusual or rather perplexed ways but hey I'm human, who doesn't do that? But non the less I have grown to appreciate life for what its worth. I care more about the simple things and less about the material things that will get me no where. I remember when I was in junior high school and high school all I cared about was looks and clothes I was so shallow and my self esteem was transparent, basically no where to be found. But after high school I began to realize what is most important in life:

God

My la familia

& My loved ones

Nothing else matters to me anymore but those things, because all those Jordans sneakers and clothes I use to obsess over are all gone they no longer have any value to me, It was pointless buying all these clothes to impress people at school who could care less about me. Like seriously what a waste of a life, but then again thats what life is all about when your young you have not yet developed true values in life, but once you start to work and have to fend for yourself you wise up a bit and start to see things a bit more rationally, thank the LORD! because those Jordans was cuttin into my mamas pockets! lol But overall I'm just so happy to be alive and well and to have my faith, my family and to truly understand what love is all about, I'm not quite there but what I have learned about love is that Christ love is the best, It doesn't matter how much money you have how good you look or where you come from, he knows exactly who you are and he loves you for who you truly are, and that alone makes me love myself, knowing that there is at least one person out their who loves "me" just the way I am...and thats all that really matters...LIVE.LOVE.LIFE!
