Gratitude




  Sometimes we are so blessed that we tend to start to forget how luck we are. Although these things seem so simply; they' are the same things that so many other people that do not have. A few things that I tend to take for granted is the fact that I barely have to pay bills, sometimes I forget how hard my mother works and how lucky I am that I do not have a parent who insist that her older children have to pay rent or pay for the electric bill or something else of that nature. Although I do give her money when needed, she never asks me or my siblings for nothing and that is something my siblings and I should be truly grateful for but I know we all tend to forget.
   I am truly grateful for my family, we are all very close and that is what my mother always wanted. I know that no matter may happen in life they will be there for me and help me out if I need them. One person in particular that I am grateful for is my nephew Jayden; He is truly my inspiration and he is my little reminder that dreams do in fact come true. Also he thinks I am like the coolest person on the planet and that also kind of cool that he thinks that.
  Also things that I can absorb more is living in the moment. I think since technology has grown and became so highly use by basically everyone. Nowadays we do not really know how to live without wanting to record it all and share it with the world. Technology has became a part of our everyday lives and we barely know how to function without tweeting, snapping, facebooking,and  instantgraming our lives.By living in the moment more I would have a better appreciate of the world and what is truly important. I think if we do that more we would enjoy what matters and will make memories that we would remember for a lifetime. Although being able to capture memories is amazing, we should also enjoy living in the moment in which they are happening.

a week of stress.

 
This week has been so stressful and I don't understand why. I actually had a schedule for this week surprisingly, I was going to work Monday, Wednesday and Thursday even though I am only normally schedule for short shifts during the week ,but for some reason I decided to be darning and boy was I wrong for doing so. Last Sunday I did the unthinkable well for me at least. I worked a ten hour shift, 7:30 am-7:30 pm. The shift actually went by very fast and I actually had fun at work on my shift ,but when I decided to continues the rest of my week doing the same thing I was completely wrong.

 I shouldn't have not decide to do the same thing, my whole body is hating me right now although I was able to get all my work done and I know that my next pay check will be more than worth it ,but still my body is definitely telling me that next time when I decide to do crazy shifts I have to think about the affect it may have on my body. Also this week made me truly miss being a kid and only having to worry about homework and not having to worry about having a job.

   I truly miss that. That was definitely amazing just being able to sleep in on weeks and not being an adult, but then again nothing last forever and sometimes we all just need a goodnight's rest as well as being able to relax. But then again no one said growing up was a smooth ride.

Blessing In Disguise

       Nearly eight years, I forced to moved from my childhood home to the sunshine states. My first reaction was complete denial. At thirteen, this would be the first time I moved in my life. I remember the exact moment when my mother told me and the faint chuckle slip from my lips as I stared at her and siblings in complete shock. She was taking me from my home and throwing completely out of my comfort zone and I was completely terrified.
 
            As soon as we got there, there was a completely cultural shock. I was completely out of my comfort zone and my first thought was that I simply wanted to go home. My first day at my new school, I felt like an rainbow fish in a sea of goldfish. Everyone knew each other for years then there was me, the new girl. I was so use to being someone's little sister and starting school with my friends being in a new state and new school make me so nervous that I felt like I was going to pass out. My first day was so weird to me, I remember being completely nervous and scared that I would be siting by my seat in bathroom during lunch because I wouldn't know anyone. I missed my old friends so much and I remember texting my sister and telling her I wished that she was here with me.

    I remember taking a deep breathe and going to my computer class. As soon as I walked all eyes went on me and I froze. I absolutely hate when all eyes on me. I sighed to myself as the teacher directed me to my seat. As soon as I sat down I remember getting a light tap on my shoulder. I turned around quickly. " I love your shoe" A dark skinned girl with a bright white smile said. I smiled back as I said thank you. " I'm Cynthia by the way." I smiled again as I answered back with mine. I chuckle to myself now because weirdly Cynthia has became to one of my closest friends until this day and we met on my first day of my middle school. It is so strange how things works out and how sometimes things happen when you lease expected it. My move to Florida from Boston was scaring , but by doing it I have gained a lot of amazing friends and I am truly grateful for them.
