"A lady in the street but..."

Hello,
How do you do? I've had a pretty great weekend. This normally means that I forgot about some extremely important homework assignment or weekend test. Some kind of school insanity. Without gong into excruciating detail like I do some days, I went out to this DJ competition. Had a great time. Danced with a cute guy. If I wasn't over-thinking it the entire time, I may have actually had fun. In case you don't know, that's just the way I am. First, I am constantly fighting between my Beyonce and Sasha Fierce side. I feel guilty when I'm in club settings and sing songs that may not be the most appropriate. I listen to the christian station in my car most days and have jam out sessions to Taylor Swift.  But at the same time, I love Turn on The Lights by Lil Wayne. I do. And Don't Drop that Thun Thun still gets stuck in my head constantly. I know that the good girl should out weigh the bad. I am working on making that happen. Usher put it well. A lady the street but... haha, I think you can finish the rest. (Unless you're one of the genuinely good people I'm aiming to be. Then don't google it)

Something weird also happened. One of my moms friends wrote a RIP facebook post about someone she missed and it was the name of her nephew that we happened to know. All through the night I really thought he had passed away. It put a whole new perspective on the person he is. The one we knew was only like 11 by the way. I just began to realize how nice he was always asking how we're doing and texting from Africa and stuff. I never realized it before. It just opened my eyes to how much I ignore the good in people. It's only when they're gone, or I think they are that it shows up. Thank God he's still alive. It was actually someone else in their family who I don't know. Know them or not, it's still a tragedy because life is a precious thing. My goal is to notice the nice things people do more often now. Make sure they know how much you appreciate that side of them. I wanted to take the time to let you know I appreciate all of you who read this. Even if it's only a couple of you. Finding some kind of value in my random thoughts is awesome of you.

With that, homework awaits. Ciao!

xoxo

Song of the day: Turn On The Lights (listen to it for me. I'm giving up bad music among other things for lent)
