Sunset.

Marques Houston's song, Sunset, has been out for a long time but it seems like everyone's making covers for it in an overflow right now. So taunting, I swear.
I remember first hearing this song.. def didn't mean the same thing it does to me now.
It's one of those.. "damn this is all me" songs. Bah.

VJ & Charissa's (aka Boom Boom & Chaboy!) wedding was on Friday.
Like we kept saying, we're getting old!
We used to go to debuts, now we're going to weddings.
Everyone looked so beautiful and it was def so so SO good to see everyone.
It's great how even though we hardly see each other, when we do, we just jump right back into the same old thing.
Same old us, same good times and same cherished moments.
We're all doing our own thing but when it comes down to it, we still got each other.
I've been pretty emotional the past few days due to a little visit from my supposed-to-be monthly friend (LOL).. so excuse me if I sound like I'm dragging a pile of tissues along for the ride.

Some people will never understand how much my friends mean to me.
I cherish you guys soooo much
and for the ones I can truly still call my friends, thank you.
Whether we've been friends for 10 years or 3 months or whatever in between, you have made such a big impact on my life and for that I am forever grateful.
Such wise words, such simple acknowledgments, such love.

But always beware.
There will always be people who will try to take advantage of you.
It's happened to me a handful of times in my past.
They take my kindness for weakness.
Just remember, I can always forgive but I will not ever forget.
I will always be able to forgive you for hurting me but sorry,
I can never forget the hurt.
I'll be able to move forward and maybe we can start over
but with my good memory comes remembering every little scrapping detail.
Sorry.

Kyle, your blog the other day touched me soo hard.
I hope you don't mind me sharing with the world your beautiful words.
You've given me some of the best advice.. here's your own personal shout out.
Thank you.
[I realized that important people in our lives come and go. I experience this all the time. Things always seem to be "so" perfect, but in the end, they are always the ones walking away from you... You live, you learn and you progress... You accept what just happened and you commit yourself to avoid doing the things you use to do, so that you can become a better person...
"Accept, Understand, Learn and Progress."]

On a happier note, it's my birthday tomorrow, bitches!
Today I woke up thinking about my birthday last year.
Almost one year later, SO much has changed.
Damn life with it's curveballs and mysteries.
