A few days before my 24th Birthday I posted a blog entitled "
Back Down Memory Lane: A Moment of Realness Part I" which allowed you all inside into my past, my first apt, and how I was previously. Today, I took off from work to handle some important B.I. and found myself not too far from my 2nd apartment. Realizing that I needed to independently go back and really take a moment to reflect on what's happened, take the good from it and treasure it, take the bad from it and learn from it- I did what I said I was going to do eventually and that was pay a visit.

| I spent 2 1/2 years of My Life here.... |
Coming off of Penn Ave. and turning on Brooks Drive my heart began to race immediately; what people don't understand about me is that initially upon moving here I was literally broken. I was BROKE, Heartbroken, Depressed, and all out of sorts.
For me, moving here was the let-down. I had lived in the area before and had heard about how down-trot-tin it became and I did all I possibly could (besides moving back home- which looking back would've been the right thing) to not move there. But I did anyway.
I regret not one thing I experienced while there because had it not been for that, I wouldn't be so appreciative of the blessings I'm enjoying right now....

I took a moment, sat, and just talked to myself and God and just went over the things I learned about life while I lived there. I got a little emotional, because only me and God know what really took place behind those brick walls all those years, to others: I might have appeared OK when I was losing my mind, I might have even been a mess but on the inside I was fine. At the end of the day, I'm glad it's behind me, Glad I can move on, and even happier that I was able to come back, with my own whip and sit in front of something I overcame.

| Couldn't be in Suitland and NOT get me some Golden Skillet! |
I also made another stop on my trip, anxiety levels kicked in but I conquered it like a Champ.
I'm open to making amends with people and situations now that I've grown some and am focusing on the right things/ person which is myself. I'm no longer bound to the past and I know that each day means I'm moving closer to where I need to be ......So with that said, I visited, let it be known, and am continuing on my journey. If it comes to pass, so be it. It not, I'm fine with that.
Sometimes it takes a trip back down memory lane in order to get your sh!t together, so I’m using my moment from my 2nd apartment to keep myself on my new track.
