me

it's been four months- two of which were so busy with moving and unpacking that they seem more like a blur than a reality and two that have brought such a mix of emotions. and I'm realizing that it's me. all of it. my emotions, my apartment, my kitchen renovation, my world and there's only me to take care of it. it's exciting and challenging to say the least. i often go out onto my little balcony and watch people go by- those that walk alone- do they feel they same? do they think 'i have me' at the end of the day? i recently saw two quotes from Maya Angelou that I had to write on sticky notes so i can read them often-
'if you don't like something, change it. if you can't change it, change your attitude.'
'grab the world by the lapels. life's a bitch. you've got to go out and kick ass.'
somehow i know exactly what she means. here in the city, i am a city girl- me- and i need to grab the world by the lapels.
