As New York was served by Carrie Bradshaw once a week, I will try to reveal to you the lessons I have learned, am learning and will learn. Take the structure of a weekly column and minus the sex factor and the fact that Manhattan has more going on then I will ever experience and you have LIFE IN DAN’S CITY. And as Carrie shared her experiences and insight so shall I. It has long been said that that college is the time in ones life that they find out who they are. It is when a person learns so many of life’s lessons and makes most of their mistakes. It is also obviously where the most fun lies. So why not write about them. I’m sure some might journal, and a percentage of those may become a book one day but what good does that do anyone RIGHT NOW. So here it goes.
Today is what we will one day consider our glory years. These years, I have learned, will be full of great friendship, amazing love and immeasurable memories. Of course this I all partnered with lost friendships, failing relationships and bad days. For my self all of the above is true. In this past year alone I have grown from incredible experiences. I was in a car accident, which forced me to take a year off school, and allowed me to find out things about my self I NEVER KNEW. Since then I have experienced the greatest of all loves and the pain of a broken heart. And back again. I have made great friends and lost just as many. I have fell in love with my family all over again. I remain amazed with life and what it brings. The problems I face daily seem so big until I remember the day my Aunt died or the day I Grandpa was taken from me. Suddenly the fact that my life isn’t exactly the way I want it isn’t such a big deal I am realize how it would be torn apart if ANYONE in it was taken away again. It is then I am thankful for each and every one of you.
My family, my friends, my man and my haters- you have all made me who I am today. Whether you have enhanced my life or fucked it up, without you I would not be me. And if I love you, you know it. And if I can’t stand you, you definitely know it. But to all of you, here’s to me writing to you…..CHEERS. See you next week.
