Currently: The WeekEnd

Baltimore, Maryland
Gassed up my sister’s car, picked up her best friend and the other love of my life (God son), jumped on the 95 and headed to Maryland for the weekend. Maryland make’s me happy. There’s a serenity that’s in Maryland that I can not find in New York, maybe because I hear the train all day and night, so when in Maryland I enjoy the chirping of the birds.

May was for Planning

I spent most of my month sending emails, conference calls, webinars, adding important dates to my calendar, completing papers, and mapping out my finances before the new school year approaches. I attended a beautiful wedding and partied memorial day weekend away with my 3 month old niece.
Within this time, I’m hoping that all of the above would distract me from the big leap I took at the end of April, but not so much. Why? Because love just doesn’t disappear, moments need time to become memories, and the heart wants what it wants even when it needs to heal. On the long bumpy journey that I spent with the man I once thought I would marry, I’ve learned that you create your own happiness, love is a choice, we failed at learning how to fight well because I wish we knew how to mutually deal with conflict amongst each other, emotions are dangerous, feelings are temporary, visons are powerful, hope will always be at my core, acceptance is key, growth is necessary, honesty is vital, forgiveness is a process, and peace is free.

CURRENTLY

Today is a snow day. But as per the photo above, the 18 inches the meteorologist reported isn’t outside my window and New York City is shut down.
Yes, living right off the train is different but I’m use to it.
I’m currently binge watching “How to Get Away with Murder” because my co-workers want to talk about it. It’s the perfect time since Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) decided to shut down my train line since 4:00 this morning.
I’m the big 2 8 in less than a month. I’m taking off the weekend after my birthday so what city to next? ATL and Texas are my next options because I’ll be in the Bay in July. I want to go to Salt Lake City just for the scenery, I know very random. Any other suggestions?

What’s currently happening with you?

Something Like an UPDATE

Did anyone remember ground hog day? I sure didn’t.
February came and on it’s last day, it’s gone. The month wasn’t as smooth sailing as the time felt but I survived.
Nope, I did nothing for Valentines day because I’m a working woman and the night differential that I am being paid meant more than switching my schedule for a date with someone I could care less to see again. Yes, I am that honest at times. Everyone loves fun but these days, dating is intentional, so I’m not wasting time.
In prior post, and the only other post in February, I was in Chi-town the weekend before Valentine’s day. Pretty City but not for me. The New Yorker in me just appreciates New York sometimes. I never like to compare a city, but my Uber drivers kept comparing it to New York. As I seen Chicago, I realized my drivers haven’t seen New York due to their false comparisons. It’s just different.
Back to my regular life, I’m trying to finish school strong. Submitted a final last week, started two other courses, and I’ll be taking two more classes in May. I’m just getting this done so I can gear up for my next move. I’ll speak this into the universe later in the year.
I should be completing a paper now, but I’m searching for flights. With the schedule that I have, staying in on weekends are a thing of the past. I allow myself the time I need to reset, sometimes you just need to reset. Where to next? ATL, New Orleans, The Bay, Texas, Chicago, maybe Maryland since I’m an Aunt now. Or I could randomly fly to a city that has some charm like Savannah, Georgia. Decisions, Decisions. 

How was your February?
