My Birth Land

Change!!

Its all about searching for my full IDENTITY. I may have an idea of who I am, but still I'm sure there's more to find out about me. Even though I change my name often, the person who I am don't change with the name change. That happens over time

I'm the type of person who loves change, new surroundings, and new people. Things that hold me back from what or who I want to be, I try to dismiss! No questions asked. I see the world through the eyes of forgiveness, but I never forget.

The ability to heal! not fully but to the point where I learned that I can move on. Everyone need their little space and given there is respect you will give it to them, why not?

Age 22, I love to write, words don't come easily to me but I try my best. I falter as in anyone else but I pick myself up, dust of the dirt, and continue to walk ahead.

I want to change right now. I'm looking for that single thing in me that sparks a fire and shows everyone that I am different. That I am ME. Areka. The black girl with freckles who loves dancing even when no one is looking. Mostly I want to show myself. Starting off with just writing, writing about nothing, writing about something.

The point where I am in life is a struggle. This new transition. But I'm learning to walk myself through it

OLD((Last year in college!!!*laughs* I can't believe it. Its still hard for me to think that I'm about to be a college graduate, An accomplishment that is beyond itself. It was just yesterday I was graduating from Jr. High School, braces, acne and all. lol I guess I cant live in the past forever, you know.))OLD

NEW*I'm out... now lets see whats in stores for me.*NEW

Peace. & hair grease lol

Self Realization

I open my eyes like a newborn
coming into the world of new sights and sounds

I am this infant who is curious to learn
but don't know how to go about it
So I sit and wait for it to all come to me
But I must not do this
this is not the way to pursue this life I was granted

I am this infant
who's in the process of learning the steps of life
about to begin with the first word,
the first attempt to stand on my own
The first attempt to "step"
Getting in the process to Run

Run with these new exciting tastes, smells, ideas
Visions of who I am and who I can become

I am no longer "new" to it
but all the same I'm still in that process
Learning, taking it in, and using it
to deliver an impeccable outcome

I'm ready for the world
Never mind
I'm not ready, but I am willing

Sounds like the voice of certainty and willing ness. And you have made your mind up that, yes, this is something that you truly want to do.

Enjoyed the read.
