CHANGE

Looking back a year ago, a lot has changed!

More people are dying, while more people are crying. Every day there’s a different story about how another one has bite the dust. Why can’t there be positive and inspirational news? I don’t want the next generation to suffer like us.

2019 had been the worst year yet. From being positive to hoping, to being let down. I’ve never been let down so much. From going to the hospital hoping good news, and being told the same thing over and over again. I felt as though no one cared, and I was just Cassandra. I want to be known as someone who is positive, helps others and always has a smile on her face.

How can I have a smile upon my face, if I am always being let down? That is what makes me frown! I’ve been told I’m always very happy, but little do people know “ Behind every smile, is a story.”

Every breath I take and every step I make, I know I am blessed. I am privileged to live in a 3 story house, with not only a mom but 2 grandparents. I know they love me unconditionally, no matter what happens.

I am still learning and growing and I know I can do it. I think about what would the world be without a Cassandra? But I don’t want to make that happen. I don’t want to be known as just a number. I want to be known for being courageous and amazing. I want to be known as the girl, who made a change. No matter, how hard it is, I tell myself I can do it, and that’s all that matters.

I lay my head down on my pillow, but I can’t sleep..I got too much shit on my mind. It’s steep. My minds rolling in a jeep, that’s because it’s so deep!

I want y’all to get your cameras, phones, w.e else you have, out.

I just want to put my fist up high (Black Panther) Wakanda Forever!!

Many of you want o make a change, but don’t put in any effort. This is for all those who tried but didn’t succeed. 2020 a new Decade we are beginning. This is our year, we are winning.

My mom once told me; Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know which one you’re getting. You can always guess, but sometimes life throws a curveball at you, and you just have to catch it.

2019 has come and gone, I know I am not going to take life for granted. 2020 is my year for me to succeed and grow. I plan to be successful and show off my talents. I plan to be the star of the show.

So don’t let anyone put you down, you can do anything you put your mind to. I’m not afraid of dying, I am afraid of not living life to the fullest. I have walked past a bullet, and I am glad I am still here today. I learned not to take advantage of my life, as many people haven’t been able to live to 22 like me. I have a good life, and I am so grateful for EVERYTHING. Just knowing that everything I have is a great big blessing! The only thing I have to fear is fear itself. I can do anything, I put my mind to.

Frank Ocean taught me: to work in silence and let success make the noise. A lot of people are afraid to fail, and that’s why they never try. I try and try, and try and reach high for the sky. Biggie taught me: If you move in silence, you never let anyone know your next move The less you tell, the more they wonder.

Having a positive mindset, will influence you to do better in life, and show the world what you are made of. I am made of sugar, and spice and everything nice, with a little chemical X.

I have received many blessings, and I just keep people guessing. I don’t tell people my next move until it happens. I know this is going to be a great year, with many powerful opportunities coming my way. The year just began, and I have already accepted lots of them. I just hope, God can bless everyone the way he has been blessing me, as I know that everything always happens in threes.
