what are you made of ?

If we all knew everything ahead of time , there would be no adventure to life. I hate surprises but life is all about living and learning .It may be a game to some . Wasting their days away  smoking weed and thinking . A good thought is nothing without an action behind it .Everyone has a different lesson, a different story , with a different kind of pain and joy. Right now at 22, I feel as if I'm transitioning into who I am suppose to be . Its weird because a lot of times I feel like the environment I'm in doesn't fit me so I would at times fit myself to the environment. This past week I have just figured out that as much as I would like to be with someone I would love to take myself with the aid of God to somewhere beyond what another human could do for me. The best gift anyone could ever do for them self is develop who they are and what they have. We all get caught up in the things around us, whether its clubbing, having a social life or being infatuated with the love of our life it can be so easy to get thrown off the path of gold. I'm becoming more appreciative of what appear to be negative things at first but really they are keys, hints , and signs that are telling me to jump, signs to go for it . I feel like being in my twenties I honestly want to grow to know my strengths and weaknesses on a  personal level  and what I have to offer the world with my talent as an artist and how far it can take me . How far I will let it take me ..I have become really appreciative of all of my siblings. Time has flew so past . Even though family can cross you, annoy you , and leave you hanging .. that just exemplifies how thick blood is . I have come to a point where being is single is cool , being friendless is cool , being me is even greater. I think there is a happiness and drive people have to discover within them self to just ever be fully content. My favorite quote"Life is not about finding  yourself but Creating yourself" outside every pain I may feel due to whatever I  may be dealing with or have dealt with nobody said that you have to let where you are or where you have been  create who you want to be .It may have an effect but it does not have to be in control . My sisters have honestly been there for me through this time of transitioning and after 19 years of us being together I dont think I ever really appreciated them or family . My favorite quote "time creates value" I love to say this in reference to people and relationships , it is like wine.
Your hand with my hand
Your face looks like my face
Eyes with the same pain
Blood with the same chain
Scars from the same play date
Anger built of up from years of pain trying to escape
Our love is unspoken
But understood
you cry
they dont but i know why
We have shared a past
wearing the same mask
Heard the same fights
 looking for the same escaping light

Witness the same deaths
we still have each other when the others have left
wondering the same questions but daring to speak of them
Closing eyes and praying of a saving grace from HIM
Your hand and my hand
your face looks like my face
Raised under the same roof
On the same foundation
seeing you grow up and you grow up
we become each others lessons learned and inspirations
an endless friendship
to match our life long bond
together we are 5 sisters
giving each other strength
building bonds
with that same ole smile
rising high 
to the peak 
not looking back
but with your hand and my hand
and that same ole smile
looking beyond
