New Years Resolution.

I plan to start the New Year off with a bang. So many things that I have planned; all of which will be my primary concern come morning. I need to gather for myself the will and drive to see these dreams come to fruition and do all I possibly can to ensure they continuously grow and expand. I've put my dreams on hold for long enough. I need to it the ground running this year and gain momentum as the days roll on. My entire existence revolves around my aspiring dreams and I don't want to live a meaningless, useless life. I will make it happen.

Change is Good!

Hello all, I just had something on my mind that I needed to share with ya'll. I  remember hearing all through high school and middle, people claiming they won't change for the world, and "This is who I am for life, so get use to it." Yeah it's a cute thing to say and it makes you feel superior if only for a moment but in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with reinventing yourself for the better. People always tell you "Don't change stay the same," but this is only if the person you are before is already a good and caring person. But if you were like me as a child, just mad at the world for no apparent reason, there is absolutely nothing wrong with change. In fact I encourage change. Without change there is no evolution to a better place, there is no growth and no advancement within yourself. Some people take "change to mean you conformed to the way of the world or instead of staying unique, you fuse into a popular trend and are imitating a specific group of people. But other forms of change are possible and should be utilized by everyone. Everyone should be trying to make themselves better with the coming years. There's nothing worse than a man who acts like a child or a grandparent who still trying to fit into clothes they wore in high school. Seasons change, nature changes with the seasons, we change physically as do animals, so why not our attitudes and mind frames as well. Anyone who knew me previously would say that I was a horror. I didn't care about other people's feeling in the least, but I'd like to think I've grown up alot and my perspective has changed. Likewise, I encourage everyone to get off that old, played out way of doing things and mold yourselves into better people. It's the best and most meaningful thing we all could ever do.

Traveling Light

I'm new to blogging but I'm actually finding it quite refreshing. It gets a lot of things off my chest and makes me feel lighter once I've posted something. I will be making this a daily routine. Well, anyway I came down to Miami in the middle of the night without telling anyone except my brother and he was on his way to work. You know how you tell someone something and they really can't do anything about it because they were suppose to leave 15 minutes ago and so they're just like, "Okay, well I can't talk you out of it so be careful!" Yeah, it was something like that. Funny thing is that, one of my biggest frustrations with Houston was the fact that I couldn't find a job I thought was suitable for me with all my education. Then I turn around and come to Miami and it's even worse down here. Probably should have done some research first, but no regrets. I've learned a lot while out here. Thank God I landed on my feet. The morning after I left, around 6 o' clock AM I called back home and said, "Hey mama I'm in Louisiana." I heard her raise straight up in her bed and she took on that frantic tone that all mothers do, 'What?" Even though that happened damn near 6 months ago that phrase sticks in my head like it happened yesterday. The way I said it, how I felt when I said it, and the attitude I said it with. I was excited. It was refreshing. And I said it as if to say, "Yeah mama, I did it! Finally I got the courage to move and I did it," like I was expecting an hand clap. The whole day was surreal, the whole night was full of excitement and anticipation and in the morning I started off with a clean slate. I slept in my car for the first 2 weeks to save money but that got old, real fast so the next week I stayed at a hotel in South Beach. It cost 1000 dollars. I told myself, if I'm gonna be spending that much money, I might as well get an apartment and just pay that a month. So, I did. This time though, I used my brain and moved out of South Beach and into North Beach where you don't have to pay to park and you don't pay a grip for everything including rent and constantly getting parking tickets. This was my best move. I mean, everything is a learning experience. A lot of people say (and I believe them to an extent) that I am very sheltered, some say I was spoiled and had everything done for me. This is true in alot of ways, but while you're young, you really don't see it that way. You just know that you are being taken care of. It's not until you are older, 16 through your 20s that you feel the need to branch off and go your own way. I waited until I was 24 to branch off, not because I was being spoiled or lazy but because I know I have big dreams and lots of things on my list to cover and when I'd branch off I'd do far more than people would consider rational. When I left I didn't have a job, a place to stay, only 4 outfits, 7 maxed out credit cards, a folder full of resumes and a pillow. That's it. I can't take all the credit though, mama did send me some money religiously in the beginning to ensure I had a chance, but the simple fact is at this point, I'm making it on my own.  This is part of my legacy now. Every time my family thinks of me, they'll think of the time I jumped in my brothers truck and hightailed it to Miami following a dream and the directions as displayed in my iPhone. Miami's not my last stop. I plan to go everywhere! Everywhere I ever felt I wanted to go, and do everything I felt I ever wanted to do. Life is so short and now I have my mother's blessing which makes it all the more easy to go on and do. I want to go to California, and New York, the Bahamas and Chicago, Atlanta and Washington, overseas, to Asia and Africa. I just wanna travel the globe. Mock my words, I will do it! I'm just that type of person. Whatever I set my mind to do I will do it and there is no one except God that can stop me!    

The Biggest Entrepreneur Thus Far!

Hey everybody, my name is Schanniah (pronounced Shay-na) and I am an aspiring singer/songwriter/entrepreneur/reality tv star/radio personality. I, like most people see myself making big moves and going places other less ambitious people only dream about. I spend the bulk of my day thinking up clever ways to make money and avenues to get involved in that generates money. I am the biggest entrepreneur to my heart. I always had it in my mind to own my own business and make my own rules and because of that never failing persistent urge in the pit of my stomach; that yearning for self worth and success, am I here where I am now. I was wanting something. I needed to prove to myself and those around me that my goals in life are realistic, and just because you may not be able to comprehend a good thing or the reach of my influence doesn't mean it won't work. Many people when they believe something wont work try to discourage you from pressing on and many people in my life have done this. And if you aren't cool with you, unyielding and completely saturated within your beliefs you'll end up believing them. The best way I know to deal with people like this is to move away from them. You expect a starving dog to stop eating his own shit so if you want a bigger and better meal, you just have to move away from him and go your own way. My goals in life are so massive there's not enough space in my head to house it all. I find myself writing it all down on paper just to get a grip on what I'm trying to do. Even still, while many people would tell me to scale down on what I want , I don't and wont. I believe that I can achieve all I want in life and because these hatters out here are routing against me gives me that much more strength, fueling my fire to keep on doing my thing.
