Randomness!

Once upon a time, there was a 21-year-old girl. She was a dreamer and thinker...always wanting the world to be filled with beautiful, giddy-upedness...even though she knew it just would never be so. Instead of being distraught, however, the young hippy girl decided to write what she would later entitle "keeshaisms"...because they were words and thoughts she could tell herself to make everything seem better, even when it wasn't. Now at 32, the once young dreamer was rediscovering herself. She had realized that for way too many years, she had put her dreams and ideals on the back burner, while pushing to help those around her...who were sooo not worth it... reach their potential. One day, the woman sat down at her computer and opened an email entitled "Fwd: Green dog"...not because she was ever really into those new-age chain emails people sent out, but because it was from a dear friend and she was bored...when, much to her surprise, the words under the "Words to live by" were the exact same "keeshaisms" she had written when she was a mere dreamer of 21. "What the f...?" she thought, as she scrolled down the email, having her old words slap her in the face. "I never posted these sayings. Is this some type of a joke??" Quickly...well, as quickly as a 32-year-old can....she sprung up out of her computer chair, ran up the stairs, and found the original copy of the words and thoughts she had written down so many years ago. After several hours of googling her words and thoughts, she found at least whomever posted them on the slick without her knowing, did so without taking credit for them. The woman decided, with the forceful help of her sisee, to not allow what was rightfully hers float out in cyberspace without her name being attached to them. So, without further ado, here are her "Keeshaisms" aka "Words to Live By" written by Keesha Hall in May 2002, posted in true keesha fashion...:

1. i love you not because of who you are, but because of who i am when i am with you.
2. no man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
3. just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
4. a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
5. the worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
6. never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
7. to the work you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
8. don't waste your time on a man/woman who isn't willing to waste his/her time on you.
9. maybe God wants to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful.
10. make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect to know you.
11. don't try so hard. the best things come when you least expect them to....

WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON....

and now you know....
