We are so afraid of age. We do everything we can to prevent it. We don´t realize what a privilege it is to grow old with someone" -Daniel on PS. I Love You movie
I don't remember what exactly were my resolutions for 2010 but am pretty sure the main one was attempting to let go of life's a million and one problems and just learn to take each day as it comes.
I had an awesome 2010. Just spent a year abroad. Law is hard,a two year crash program in law-an attempt at cracking rocks with bare hands but nothing that cannot be done right?People walk on hot coal all the time so am sure all will be swell :) Am actually looking forward to my final year option units,international law and sports law.No idea what kind of career sports law would lead to in kenya but am sure once i get past the odd looks of possibly being the only female student in a sports law class i'll find my way around it. Besides i've got commercial,family,land law etc to fall back on right?If not that i might just apply my law school experience to my original career path in management and public relations to find some mix that works well for me. This time i feel lost but not in a bad way,rather the kind of exciting lost where i look forward to living through each day experimenting to find what suites me.No more excessive planning, am ready to live through my life's adventure.Oh well, let me not bore you with my career jibber jabber :)
So where was I?Oh yeah, this year's resolutions.....i think i can confidently say i surpassed what i set out to achieve in terms of personal growth.Literally i feel like ive "grown up" alot in one year.....am finally setting career goals and even thinking along the lines of a future family.....IN THE FUTURE...that is :).Am still a kid,atleast i am at heart and ive got a few more years to live out my youth.
This year i was blessed to meet some very special people.Four guys i like to refer to as my boys or boyfriends stand out the most.I spent most of my year with them and in due course learnt volumes about life and love.I badly needed a reality check given i used to be painfully naive but with them i think ive come to understand dating and relationships much more clearly. Learn to recognize what sacrifices are worth making.
Anyway.....so much for my random rumblings,writers block hasn't escaped me so i guess for the rest of the post i'll include a few lines id previously written but never got to complete.Next year i will also not be making any more resolutions other than living with as much zeal as i did in 2010......am soaring high, spreading my wings and letting the winds of destiny guide me home to where i belong.
As i hold you tight my darling,
whisper to me ,say you want me
make me feel love
i could be in a million other places,but i chose to be here with you
the heart speaks volumes in silence,
what you may consciously self deny;
isn't just whisked away into a black hole of oblivion,
the night comes, the dreams illuminate
a million stars may shine bright in the night sky but only twinkles bright enough
Life is like stepping onto a boat which is about to sail out to sea and sink-Hunryu Suzuki Roshi.

Have a happy new year and a blessed 2011
Remember actions speak louder than words and if there's anything you put off in 2010 be sure to take a risk at making it happen. Who knows,it could be a shot on target when all the while fear of the unknown may have been keeping you from living up to your life's potential.
For 2011 i will leave you with two movie quotes i constantly referred to this year;
"It’s a loud noisy world we live in and sometimes we loose our way;but if we’re lucky the good lord sends' someone to bring us home.Make no nevermind about it,loving people is hard work and families with all those lives mixing together;it gets kinda scary,but if we grab hold of each other and hold on there’s nothing more beautiful in the world." Big Mamma's House 2
"If you can promise me anything,promise me that whenever you're sad,or unsure,or you lose complete faith,that you'll try to see yourself through my eyes;you made my life but am just one chapter in yours" Gerry Kennedy on P.S. I love you
See ya next year my blogspot family,hopefully i will get to write some more poetry then xx.
Ever since i met you,
