It's been a while..

It
Posted By: Da 1st Lady Mz. Cherokee on June 25, 2008


It's been about 2 yrs since I've last logged into this account & I'm surprised it's still active..I've been doing my thing concentrating on my modeling career and just basically sticking to it because I'm breaking that bad habit of quitting something because it bores me...lucky for me...this is my passion as opposed to everything else I've tried n quit so I'll be in this profession for a while. If you've noticed I haven't mentioned anything about school...and that's because I decided against it..I found out that long-term schooling is NOT for me and I wish I would've figured this out b4 I started school in 03..I would be $4,000 richer but it was a tight experience.



I do plan to go to school though for fashion design that's something else that I realized I have a niche for..w/in these past 2 yrs I've dropped a few people outta my life and off of certain levels in my life...it seems as though I've been putting my neck on the chopping block for people and always go outta my way to see my friends do well, but for a long time I wasn't seeing that these genuine actions were NEVER returned, it's like certain people I deemed important started treating me differently once I reached certain successes in my life...smfh..it's crazy...but I'm happy, content, & determined to keep my life just that way...and anyone or anything that tries to come in between me and happiness can drop dead...yeah it's just that serious..anyway..this is just an overview of how life has been...I'm enjoying it and will try to write a lil some'n every now and then..
