I'm Back!

Hey Guys!

It’s been over 2 years since I last wrote, so much has happened since then. Life after university is exciting once you make it that way. I’m currently on my forth Job since we last spoke. It’s so funny because when I last wrote, I didn’t even have ANY job prospects lol. They may not have been the best jobs, but I’ve met some great people and learned great things. Right now I’m thinking about my next step in life (I mean I’m not getting any younger lol).

Right now I’m thinking about pursuing a Master’s Degree in Business Administration or Retaking My MCAT and applying to medical school or if being a doctor is even the thing for me. I may want to pursue something in the Medical/Science field but I’m waiting on divine direction. It’s scary thinking about my next step in life. I don’t want to make the wrong choice and mess up everything but I don’t want to miss any opportunity and regret not making a move. Life really is a funny thing. If you wait for something to fall in your lap you may wait forever and before you know it it’s over. You just got to make the best with what you have.

If you are in the same or a similar predicament as I am. Be courageous! Don’t be afraid to make a move in the right direction. Trust in God. I may be scary but have faith. My new motto is “no excuses, no regrets!”

The new Chapter

As I mentioned in my first blog, being a recent graduate is not a easy task.....No longer can you get by on the excuse that "I'm a college Student". Instead, you are now expected to do something with your life. Your expected to have a good job and some collateral of your own, your expected to have more......This was a part of my plan. Going to school should have opened quite a few oppurtunities for me. Instead, I am either overqualified educationally but under-qualified work-wise. The real world is rough!

After school I was supposed to have a good job (in my field I might add) and I should also be saving for my own house. Neither of these plans have come through. I had my times of crying and feeling depressed about the seemingly purposelessness of my life.......However God turned on the light in a certain compartment of my brain that told me that I should trust Him. So I decided that I will no longer worry about my future for He said in Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I'll trust his word.

Everyone says everything happens for a reason so I decided that I'll take this time to better myself. I decided to read my bible more, pray more, build a better relationship with God. He said " But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." (Matthew 6:33) I am on my journey of testing this hypothesis. I'll let you know how it goes.

Life has given me some struggles, I've had so bad days, but when I look back at all I've been through. The struggle doesn't feel so bad anymore. So I encourage you to stay strong. Hold on! Your breakthrough is right there! Just wait for it...

The Introduction

--> What is my purpose in life? This question came to me after a series of unfortunate events that occurred within these last two months after my graduation from College. Things are definitely not going according to plan and of course, with nothing better to do with my time, I decided to write a blog. I love to write I also love to read, poetry is my favorite.

This blog is all about my thoughts on life. Pieces ( the title of my blog) is a all about the components that make up my life. Some good, some not so much, but every piece makes me who I am. I love life and everything it comes with.

So to begin this journey I leave you with this poem by one of the greatest and most inspirational women to ever walk this earth.........

Still I Rise

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
-Maya Angelou
