because there are so many reason why I love you.
because of you I love the way you are and the person you want to become.
because of you I'm fearless of where this uncertain road will take me.
because of you I feel beautiful with no make-up and just your t-shirt on.
because of you I feel like anything is possible.
because of you I look at my imperfections as trademarks of my unique soul.
because of you I react off of compassion as a way to help better our surroundings, our world.
because of you I don't need security, when our hands clasp reassurance is evident.
because of you when we lay at night, your warmth is all I need in this cold world.
because of you I push myself to the ends of the earth because I know you won't let me quit on life.
because of you words can't define our love, I can simply see it in your eyes and feel it in my heart.
because of you material things don't compare to your selfless love, it is priceless.
because of you I'm the person that I'am today.
and when I make my mark in this world...it was all
because of you.
"you mean so much to me, I want the world to see it's because of you. because of you my life has changed."

"I was never your friend nor did I ever plan to become your friend. I guess right now that is not an option to the both of us but I would not want to erase all the greatest moments with you because of anger. You can delete all the pictures we have taken. You can throw away all the presents I have given you. You can delete all our emails and text messages BUT one thing is for sure, you cannot erase all the memories we have had. This is something that we will carry in our hearts forever."

No Convenient Store
I'm sorry homie but I'm not a convenient store.
You can't just come all up in here whenever you want because my doors do not say 24/7.
The outside can be cold and cruel but that does not mean that you will find security and warmth here. You know that around here, you have to earn your keep.
You can't just loiter around, afraid that other fellas gonna buy up the whole store.
I understand your sincerity but at the same time, you messing up with prospective buyers.
And no I'm not a gold digger because you obviously see that I've got a strong foundation but at the same time, a girl wants stability and baby we both know that love does not pay the bills.
You can't just come around here and expect me to give free goods. I understand that you were a loyal customer but at the same time, you got bad credit with a long overdue tab.
You know that I've got all that you need right here but you can't just take what you want at no cost. I've got surveillance cameras all up and down this block.
Besides, we both know you have been a returning customer elsewhere so why don't you pay them a visit.
So please stop impersonating, don't come here like you own the place.
This is a corporation in the making and is looking for one lucky person that will man up to be the owner.
You think that this time around you can just conveniently walk back in..Well, I'm sorry handsome because I'm just gonna have to ask you nicely to leave the premises because again, this ain't no convenient store.

Sell your broken promises to someone that will hear them out cause your lame sales pitches has plummeted my cash flow.
Bring your faulty business somewhere else because this ain't no mom and pop spot.This is a corporation in the making and is looking for one lucky person that will man up to be the owner.
You think that this time around you can just conveniently walk back in..Well, I'm sorry handsome because I'm just gonna have to ask you nicely to leave the premises because again, this ain't no convenient store.

Letter 5: Someone that changed your life
Dear Bwea,
I know that we are not in the right state of mind and that our conversations have been a little stale but I just want to tell you that you have changed my life. It's because of you I've learned so much about myself and what type of person I want to eventually become. You have encouraged me in all that I have wanted to do in life and I thank you for that. It takes a patient individual to understand where another person has been and where their dreams may lead them. I just hope that no matter where our hearts guide us that we still have one another in each other's lives.
Our chemistry is undeniable and the way we inspire one another gives us motivation to be that much better. We've always said that we could not be where we are today without one another. However, you never needed me. I may have inspired/motivated you to do things but that will power has always lived within you, you just needed someone to help you realize your potential. There are no words that can transcript how wonderful your love has been when life and time were not on my side. You always knew what to do. It makes me smile just thinking about how everything makes sense when we are together.
I feel like all the recent events have pushed us farther when we both thought that we were on the same page. This pain that I feel...tell me when does it goes away? They say that time heals everything but tell me why does this distance feel so cold? and why does time taunt me by making the seconds feel like hours? Is that the way love goes?
You are a great person with a great heart and with such a musically inclined soul...you just need to keep finding ways to share your gift with the rest of the world. So prepare as much as you can for all of the worst case scenarios, create various back-up plans and create meaningful relationships with whomever you meet...because the world is just waiting for your arrival. I just hope that I will be there to witness it all.
If you need me, you know where to find me because I'm never leaving. Let me know when you want to revisit the place where love first found us.
"I promise. Forever"
Love,
Your Runaway
..."I wont give up. I'm too much in love and I want you to know that. Just take my hand, fall in love with me again"....

Letter 4: Not In Your State/Country
Dear NYC,
I have to admit. When I first booked my ticket, I did not know what to expect. I've been talking about flying over to your side of the country for quite sometime now. Everyone is afraid of the unknown and I just did not know what you had in store for me. Little did I know, you had great things lined up.
There was never a dull moment. There were so many places to go, people to see and things to eat. You truly live up to the name of "the city that never sleeps" because I hardly got too but at the same time who wanted to? Waking up at the crack of dawn and beating the sun home had to be best because rain or shine, I wanted to soak you in. Although I was extremely exhausted, I just could not get enough. You understood my life and showed me how I could fit in. Your lights inspired me, your landmarks made me more appreciative, your music lifted my spirits and your locals left me hopeful.
I love my home but there is just so much more to see in this world. I've dreamed of stepping foot on your grounds and now that I finally have, you've opened my eyes to much more. I've grown up in a place that's rich of culture. However New York, you are wealthy as well. Not only are you financially wealthy but are wealthy of culture that is statured to your own history and are wealthy of a population blend that's hard to deny. My favorite part had to be Brooklyn. It made me feel at home and I felt like I belonged there, like I understood the life stories of the neighbors. Many of the mothers that I've bumped into there, I can tell that they are working hard to set food on the table. I can tell that the fathers are trying to work extra shifts just to make ends meet and I know that the kids there are trying to strive in school so that their parents' sacrifices are not going unnoticed. How can I tell that you ask? Because I was one of those kids. If I ever have a daughter, I'm seriously naming her Brooke because Brooklyn is where I fell in love with you.
Jay-Z was not lying when he said that you were the "concrete jungle were dreams are made of" because being there with you made me realize my dreams and where I want to be in life. I'm young with big dreams and I hope to return at your doorstep to make them come true. I had to empty out my luggage the other day and it was bittersweet. I may have had to empty out my luggage but there are so many things that I have learned on that trip that I could never empty out of my heart. I love you and miss you NYC and a piece of me is still with you. So keep that piece of me safe, don't wait up for me and don't dim those lights because I'll be back and I'll be ready for all of the other things that you will have ready for me.
With love,
Your Hawaii Girl

Business
I've been meaning to create a website for my business but never got around to it. However, since my friend Kevin and I have been meaning to do this project 365 for for months now and have been personally wanting to do it for years...I got to it. So with my project in effect, I decided to start my website layout. I've started it on wordpress and will eventually turn it into a domain. So when you have the time, go and check it out. :)
