Do You Care?

I went to a mini poetry slam with my friends last night. Toward the end I got up and made my PSA about the DYC campaign. Before I finished speaking, I could tell by the blank looks on their faces that I wouldn't get many names. I was like maybe I should have written something poetic before I got up to talk to them all. But oh well, I'd rather skip nameless apathetic people and reach out to the world on the www. Read the lil sidebar on the vid for more info. Peace...

My ReDefintion

Never ever ever in my long-legged life have I felt so blessed and complete. This summer I decided to begin to become the woman I want to be. I thought "I'm 18, I can do what I want and be who I want to be...But who is that?" So I spent the summer thinking about who I want to be and I just couldn't figure it out. All I knew was what I didn't want to be. Now that I've left the nest, I'm flying even though I didn't know I knew how. Howard is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm meeting important people that can influence my future by chance. There's no doubt in my mind that my steps are ordered. Martin Luther King said, "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." I took a step and now it seems I'm on an escalator. Chyeah! Well, I gotta go, Dad's here all the way from NC!!! ChYeAh!!!
