Hey mom. Can we talk for a sec? Cool, but, uh, you might want to sit down. No I’m not pregnant, why would you…? Never mind. Listen, I think I should move out. No, no, no, it’s not you, it’s me. I mean…actually it’s you. Will you let me finish?…….Are you done?…….Thank you. You are way too over-protective for me. I get the whole “mama bear,” “lioness” idea, but I mean, c’mon, picking me up every night I work late gets to be pretty overwhelming considering the fact that everyone I work with is 18 or older and NONE of their parents pick them up from work because it’s late. I mean it comes in handy when I’m tired but seriously I’d rather take the bus sometimes. Especially since this really handsome guy that works with me takes the same bus I would have to take home. What? Of course, he’s like 5’11, chocolate, muscular, gorgeous…but that’s besides the point. I need some space. How do you expect me to face the world on my own if you won’t let me experience it? But mom, I need to grow and learn the way of the world. Aww, don’t cry mom. Your little girl has to grow up sometime. I found this cute little apartment downtown, and you can come visit…or better yet, we can Skype. Remind me to show you how to use that. Anyway, I’m glad we had this talk. I’m off to pack.

I Look to You – Whitney Houston
God in Me – Mary Mary
These songs help me keep my faith and believe that I can make it through my hardest times in my life. I listen to and sing these songs when I am feeling down or alone in my own world.

She Got Her Own – Ne-Yo ft. Jamie, Fabulous
Self Made – K Michelle ft. Trina
These two songs represent who i am as a woman. I do not like to rely on other people to do or get things for me. These songs reflect my do-it-yourself mentality at times.

Ayy Ladies – Travis Porter ft. Tyga
Freakum Dress – Beyonce
Birthday Cake (Remix)- Rihanna ft. Chris Brown
These upbeat songs keep me in a good mood. I even say parts of the songs at random. They also make me want to bust-a-move.

Dead and Gone – T.I. ft Justin Timberlake
This song helps me realize that my past is not as important as my present or my future. It also represents the transitions in my life that I’ve been through.

Can’t Hold Us Down – Christina Aguilera
Survivor- Destiny’s Child
These songs also give me strength, but in a different way than the other songs. Because I am somewhat shy and quiet, these songs help to be more confident in myself and never give up even when times get ruff.
