About Me

Its amazing at how many old friends you can find on myspace. I received an invite from an old friend from Atlanta and now I'm here. It feels a little like a first date. You know, the one that you go on and have to answer questions like what do you do, what school you went to and where do you see yourself in 5 years? Maybe that's why I've never been much of a first date type of girl. I'd much rather skip all the idle questions..they tend to just come with time anyway. Or maybe, its because that often, the answers to the small talk questions have been a mystery even to me. I used to think I knew exactly where my life was headed. Had it planned out just before I set foot on my college campus. Knew what my major was and what my goals where for the next 5 years. I was in the black Mecca and my life was already well planned out. Anyway, I soon realized that I was not a psychic and my future could have never been for seen. If I could have seen into my future, I would have seen many life path changes that involved lovers, friends and other amazing people. I would have seen hilarious college days combined with humbled adult experiences. I would have known that I could have never manipulated the outcome of any of these events..what would have been the fun at that? I would also have known that "Life is not just learned, its lived. Love is not deserved, its given." I'm very positive about this future of mine that I can not for see. I look forward to finishing things that I once left behind and experiencing those that I've only imagined. Welcome to myspace! Thanks to Chukie for the invite! hope all my friends, old and new will enjoy the things I will share on here. Please continue sending me love and prayers..they are always appreciated. Love and Miss you all!! Shay ..
