Remember when you used to find my random diaries laying around and you used to read them? Did you learn anything from them? Was it just a source of good entertainment? Man! was I something else… Remember when we read some of those passages together? OMG! soooo funny! I forget I was ever who I was.. I almost don’t believe it! It’s hilarious to look back and remember. I love sitting around with the older generation, listening to them clown on each other on who they used to be, and watching the “clowned-upon” laugh at his/herself. It’s a blessing to learn from other people’s experiences. It’s important to be able to realize how much you’ve changed and grown.. to be able to realize how amazing things are for you NOW. and it’s great if you stumble upon things that help you to realize that. Keep a record of your life… no one else will. Take note of how you feel to remind you that you are human, and to remind you (when you get lost in emotion) of the things that you didn’t like in your life and the things that you DID. Take pictures, make videos! Someday in your future, you will look back on them and laugh. And I… I will be there with you sharing those precious moments. Do what you feel is right for you, and take what I say with a grain of salt. Just remember that I will always be here whether we agree or disagree. With love, M.Kat

Having a sister that’s prettier than you.
She’s lucky that she’s my best friend and that I love her.
i can clearly remember new years eve 2008. we were all at the gathering at hyler ave.. 3 different channels on 3 different tv’s. i was helping bella type a story about my brother. it was funny. we watched the countdown 3 times.. 3 TIMES! i think that makes me 2 or 3 years older than i really am..? it seems like last night… but 364 days have passed and each of those days i LIVED. i can’t remember them all… but here are a couple of things that i’ve lived through: i lost my voice for a couple days (checked off my list!), went to europe (not on the list.. but added so that i could check it off!), spent night time at the beach (another check), “graduated” (LARGE check!), adopted a puppy, talked on the phone with john cusack, talked on the phone for 5 hours STRAIGHT, got AP’ed, took a BILLION pictures with Goofy, watched meteor showerS (yes, plural), played sardines on a ship, went thru a clepto stage, joined brightkite (OMfG!), made a gingerbread house, watched 4 different concerts, fractured my heart, stitched it up, survived a month without my brother, caused a scene, prevented a scene, watched 2 cats have a conversation (O_o) , approached a racoon, and ooh! went on my first date! i’ve learned a lot this year.. like how resilient i am, how devious people can be, how jealousy can ruin a relationship, how EASILY you can lose someone, how little things don’t matter after a month or so… how the little things can accrue into something grand! honestly, i don’t know what my most important lesson was this year but i think one of the big ones is that (even though i already knew it) you aren’t alone. i’ve realized it myself and helped other people realize it too. and at the same time, there are people who i WISH would realize it.. or could have realized it. and with that thought in mind, i’ve also realized that you can only predict so much.. but you never KNOW what is going to happen next. and for this reason, i’ve been practicing learning to let go and go with the flow… stop trying to manipulate the situation and just let it be. so… one of my self advices for this upcoming year? as the beatles would say, let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be… whisper words of wisdom - let it be. leave your baggage behind and let the good times roll ! smiles, yummy ^_^
