ART BASEL


I CAN NOT believe I forgot to write about the Art Basel! Every year I have been dying to go, but I never had the time to go. Luckily for myself, this year I got asked to work for an artist named Miguel Paredes. It was literally one of the best experiences of my life! Miguel's paintings are beautiful, they have a cool funky twist to what I thought Art Basel was going to be about. The best thing about it was, one of my favorite movies is Bring It On, and one of the actors from the movie went to his event. Gabrielle Union! I met so many people that night, and I am so thankful that I got to experience it. That saying "good things come to those who wait"... I have been waiting to go to Art Basel and not only did I go, I got asked to work it.

If you've read my old posts I talked about my car accident, honestly that accident changed my life in a good way, of course. I appreciate everything that happens, good or bad. When I told my friend about my accident she just started crying because the same way I got hit, her brother passed away because his neck snapped. My best friend just got into an accident and she has bruises and burn wounds everywhere. I walked away with nothing. It's nothing but a miracle.

You Take The Good, and Accept The Bad



I didn't write at all last week, not because I forgot or that I didn't want too, it was because on Thursday I got into a car accident. To be honest it was the scariest thing that has ever happened to me. I'm not writing about this so everyone who reads this feels sorry for me, but I'm writing it because I want to let everyone know how special each and every one of you are to be alive at this very moment. Don't get me wrong I loved my life before this accident and I thanked God everyday that I got to live another day. But the fact that the police officer told me that it was a miracle that I did not need any medical attention at the scene really hit me hard. The police officer told me that usually she sees the person that got hit like me with a broken something or even worse killed. I walked out of my car with only 2 bruises.

I learned through all of this that even if you think you are having a bad day, try to think of something positive that has happened to you. "As you breathe right now, another person takes his last, so stop complaining and learn to live your life with what you got." I saw that quote this weekend, ironic isn't it? We always read or see something that is ironic to our situation. Either way that quote is right. Another thing that I realized this weekend is that we just have to accept the fact that some people are going to stay in our hearts, even if they don't stay in our lives. You only have one time to live your life, don't waste it on being negative, THINK POSITIVE! :)
