About Me

I've spent too many years of my life worrying about what other people think of me and apologizing for not living up to others' expectations. Thank you Jesus that phase of my life is over! For the first time in a long time I feel like I'm living for myself. So what if I don't fit someone else's standards...I've broken out of that box and I'm carving my own path.I will not allow myself to be defined by society's [or your] stereotypes/ rumors/ opinions/ whatever. I am Aarika, so much more than you could ever imagine and nothing less.After experiencing different things in college I've come to cope with the fact that not everyone is going to like you. And you know what? I'm okay with that.....cuz no matter who doesn't like you or whatever there's always going to be at least one person that is going to like you...so move on...don't let negative people ruin your life....it's too short to waste.I realize I'm made a lot of mistakes [hurting people & hurting myself] and I'm so glad I made them. Now I know what not to do based on previous outcomes. Like the Sankofa bird, I've looked to the past to help me in the present and determine where I'm going in the future
