Happy Birthday 2 Me...

Happy Birthday to me...

I've been blessed with the chance to see 35. I can't believe it! In many ways, I have grown. I've lived through another year of ups and downs, struggles and accomplishments. Thank you Lord... I've survived...

As I look back on the past year, I've been through so much -- both good and bad. Never a dull moment, I tell you! My life has always been (and will probably always be) extreme. That's just the way it is... I've learned many lessons. I've learned how to love... I've learned how to LET GO... I've learned how to open my mind to new things... I've learned how to say NO.

I've learned the power of words. I've learned the value of my spirit. I'm finally taking charge of MYSELF... I've learned to be proud of the talents I possess. I've learned to be proud of the songs I sing. I've learned to command AND demand my respect. Fuck yeah, I'm fabulous! Y'all hear me?

This new year marks the beginning of a new me. My journey through life has brought me here -- and HERE is exactly where I need to be...

Sade said it best... "Like the scar of age, it's written all over my face... The war is still raging inside of me..."

Thank you all for living and learning with me. I've only just begun...

Love Always,
Aaron-Carl
