I FOUND A NEW LOVE BESIDES AN AWESOME DUDE IN MY LIFE. I FOUND RACQUETBALL FRIENDS! JACKSONVILLE HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE WITH HIGHS AND LOWS SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE. THE WORD NIGGA IS STILL RAMPANT BUT YOU CANT STOP SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG ALL I CAN DO IS HEAL WITHIN ME AND KNOW THAT ITS NOT ME THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST THE SITUATION OF NOT UNDERSTANDING OR THE FEAR OF WANTING TO KNOW A DIFFERENT RACE. BUT IM DOING OKAY SO FAR AND IT IS A REAL CHALLENGE LEAVING A BIG CITY OF NEW YORK CITY TO A NEW TOWN THAT HAS A DIFFERENT WAY OF LIFE WHICH IS SLOW, RELAXING AND LOVES THE LORD 10 FOLD LIKE I DO. COMING TO JACKSONVILLE AND PLAYING NEW YORK RAP SEEMS TO BE OFFENDING TO SOME AND I HAD TO COMPROMISE AND NOT PLAY JIM JONES, DIPSET, 50 CENT, THE LOX, MOBB DEEP AND ALL NY STUFF TO MAKE PEOPLE COMFORTABLE AROUND HERE. HAVING NEW YORK PLATES HAS DISADVANTAGES IN A SENSE THAT SOME PEOPLE TRY TO TEST YOUR NERVES ON THE ROAD SOMETIMES AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS JUST IGNORE THE CHALLENGES AND KEEP YOUR EYES STRAIGHT AND TAKE BREATHS AND PRAY YOU DONT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT.
THE GOOD THINGS ABOUT JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA IS THE QUIET, THE TREES THE OPPORTUNITIES TO LIVE A GREAT LIFE BESIDES WHATS GOING ON. I THINK THAT MY ATTITUDE COMES FROM MISSING THE NEW YORK CITY LIFE WHERE WE ARE FREE, FUNNY, OUTRRAGEOUS, RIDICULOUS AND THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO. AS FAR AS RACISM IN NEW YORK CITY, ITS THERE BUT ITS MORE CONTROLLED AND THERE ARE PENALTIES TO DISCRIMMINATION OF ANY RACE NOT JUST BLACK. I FEEL ONCE I FIND PLACES I CAN FEEL COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY LIKE THE GYM WHEN I PLAY RACQUETBALL OR GO SWIMMING IN THE POOL............. ALL THE JACKSONVILLE BAD STUFF WILL GO AWAY. I THINK WITH TIME JACKSONVILLE AND I WILL COME TO A COMMON GROUND AND MEET AND LOVE EACH OTHER FULLY ONE DAY. IM STILL THE CITY GIRL FROM NEW YORK CITY THATS PROBABLY EXPECTING TOO MUCH OR LOOKING FOR THE SAME LIFE I HAD IN NEW YORK. IT COULD BE THAT I AM THE PROBLEM... IT REALLY COULD BE
