In 2010.

Relationships.

Im not rushing into anything. This is MY year and Im celebrating myself. If a guy conflicts me in any way, I will discontinue any contact. No more dogs flirting with my friends. No more "Can we be friends with benefits" (thought that never happened to begin with.) If I have to contradict myself and my beliefs to be with him, then I should NOT be with him. I dont mind being single. It can be me and God for the rest of my life. Im fine with that.

Friends.

I've always been a pretty optimistic person. If I sense a negative vibe from anyone, I will excuse myself from their prescence. Im speaking my mind from now on. If I dont want to do something, I wont. If you dont like it, good-bye. Life is too short, and I refuse to spend minw with people that's tryin to hold me back.

Fashion.

I have been lucky to have to opportunity to live in Virginia for a couple of months where I attended college at Hampton University. There were people from every region of the United States, so I got to see how different people dress. Before, I was content with wearing jeans, a shirt, and some flats. Now, I am going to pretend as if my clothing is my poetry. I will express myself inwhat I wear. Im not following any trend, or rules. If people dont like it, its fine. As long as I am happy with it.

School.

Procrastination is over. I am an English major with plans to attend one of the top law schools in the country. I want to be the best at what I do, so I will work hard at it. No less than a 3.5 Gpa is my goal. I will read more books. I am no longer afraid of Toni Morrison. haha. :)

This year is MY year. My mentor told me that she feels this will be a

great year for me and I received it. Im ready to take ACTION!

Haiti.

Here is a fact about me. I am Haitian. Not 100% though. I am also, Creole, French, Native American and Black. I am proud of who I am. As everyone knows. Haiti needs help. Haiti needed help before the earthquake. Now, it needs even more help AFTER the earthquake. Please help in any way that you can. You do no have to be rich. Every PENNY counts.

Single.

For those of you that are single, I have something to say to you, as well as to myself. Do not become discouraged. The longer you wait for your soulmate, the better, because each day, God is customizing that person to perfectly fit you.

Compare. &&. Contrast.

The difference between loving someone and being in love is permanence and infatuation.

Fearless.

So go on.
Go on and break my heart.
I'll be okay.
There's nothing you can do to me.
That's ever going to burn to me.
So go on.
Go on and leave my love.
Out on the street.
Im fearless.
Better believe Im fearless.
-Colbie Caillat, "Fearless"

Uncensored.

Today I talked to him.

His voice still sounded the same.

His words were different.

Different in the way he said them.

Peculiar in the way they sounded.

My feelings resufaced.

My mind remeninced.

Thoughts reoccurred.

I closed my eyes.

And tried to picture his heart.

Picture his heart as it spoke words.

Observe the way it talked to my heart.

I thought.

Reflected.

Realized.

I love him.

Deeply.

I can feel every vector of every blood stream that come from the racing pulses that my heart releases every time the resonation of his voice sends a vibration through my body.

He loves me.

He tells me.

Its real.

Its pure.

I feel it.

Its authentic.

Natural.

Unadulterated.

Love.

Return....

I havent been on here for some time. Yet, time hasn't stopped. My heart, mind, body, and soul still contains elements that need not to be harbored. My fingers still need to embrace the keyboard to wrap around a writing utensil, soon. As for now, I have deeds to be done. No one is going to be doing them for me and I have my own standards, I've set for myself that I need to uphold. Sayonara et bon nui.

Harmonious.

This is the time where I go back in my corner,
fight my urge for rest no longer....
Sayonara et Bon Nui
(Good- Bye && Good Night in Japanese && French respectively)

You are loved....

Just in case you've been doubting this statement, or no one has told you today, I will tell you until you get it... YOU ARE LOVED!

-Monique Adara

Wondering....

Where have the days gone when boys had cooties, and they went to Jupiter to get more stupider...
The days where my mommy used to do my hair in ponytails every Sunday night...
When I used to be excited to watch the Jeffersons at eleven o' clock every night...
How Happy Meals used to actually get me full and make me happy...
When before I went to sleep, I would mouth the words... "now I lay me down to sleep..."
Where are the friends that would find me during "hide n seek" but never said it, so I wouldnt be "IT"
When I would take daily trips to "Dragonland" and "Elmo's World"....
When I would play in clean playgrounds, and my friends had clean vocabularies :)...
Just a few things I've been reminiscing upon lately....
& With those memories, I go back to my corner and rest my eyes.
