“As today I know I’m living but tomorrow
Could make me the past but that I mustn’t fear
For I’ll know deep in my mind
The love of me I’ve left behind Cause I’ll be loving you always”
The song my grandmother played all day when she buried her son… and she still plays this song every holiday.
Marvin Gaye X When Did You Stop Loving Me
Watched an amazing documentary on him courtesy of Netflix and for a man to have such a beautiful voice that touches your soul, he lived a life full of anguish and the feeling of not being loved. It takes pure genius to take such negative feelings and convey them into such harmonies and melodies that make millions of people feel good.
I’ve worked my ass off to get to where I’m at in my life at this very moment and I deserve to treat myself. For that reason I’ve decided to to celebrate th year 2013 out of the country. My uncle Carlos’ 20 year death anniversary will be in October and his 44th birthday in January, I finally graduate in May, my godsis turns 20 in August and I’ll be moving to a very awesome undisclosed location soon after. 2013 is going to be an amazing year for myself and the people around me. With all that said, I’m narrowing my destinations and while I have one creeping to the top, I’m a little indecisive. I’ve always wanted to go to Panama to see where my mom’s side of the family emigrated from, but I’d want to go with my grandpa so he can show me the ins and outs. I went to London when I was 2 and don’t remember much thus why I’d like to return during my adult life. The only problem is I’m moving next August and wanted to take 2 months to travel and London would give me more bang for my buck and I’ll finally be able to go to Amsterdam so I may wait on that until the summer. Dubai has always been a place I’ve wanted to go ever since freshman year when Koko’s big sis lived there. The food, beaches, and cultural differences are enticing all on their own. Thailand is another place I’d love to check out since Koko had such a blast during her study abroad adventure. The pictures look like paradise. Egypt and Jordan are the last places rounding out my new years destination list. Decisions, decisions. I might just say fuck it and draw out of a hat…
can’t wait to see this gem on my mommy-daughter date.
