April Showers, May Flowers.

April is coming fast and it's great because it's the time everyone comes together. A year ago we signed our names in blood at the basketball tournament and posted all the pictures as an official treaty that we're all in this together. We started a movement and through the course of one year we've split up, reconnected, and brought most of ourselves back to center within this seven mile radius of a city. We're wiser. We're stronger. We're different. I'm reincarnate.

A year has past since I began my erosion of the former Nikita and recreated myself in this new image, Nikita 2.0. I've been revived by the grace of God and given a second shot of life. For the most part, I'm exuberant, happy and forever grateful. Life has more value, my conscience has regained consciousness, and my religion, love, and wrath has matured.

"The heart in me is strong today... No regrets, I'm blessed to say, the old me dead and gone away."

Summer is coming and when it hits, it'll feel like a new year. However, I've still got to deal with April filled with the stress of all the projects & presentations I have to complete, the rain that will pour relentlessly as summer speeds in and takes over. I'll have to step my game up at work as I take on new responsibilities that will make me even more overly-efficient. I've got my gym buddy back and he will push me past the limits of exhaustion. And I'll have to allot time to make up for everything I've missed in the people who are venturing back into my life.

Apart from all this is my family. As a girl who dreams up fairytales while she daydreams I was all too excited to hear the news this morning. On the same weekend in May we will be celebrating my parent's 25th anniversary, housewarming my aunt's first home, and, now, congratulating the soon-to-be newlyweds who will be officially engaged that day. A week later my sister will be graduating high school and entering into the adult world.

It's going to be a wonderful kick off to summer where I plan to legally drive a motor vehicle, get back into the groove of dance, and officially learn to shred on my la guitara like no one's ever seen before.

It's going to keep me on my toes. I'm bloodthirsty for what tomorrow brings.

I'm on a hype, I feel the high, and I'm completely sober for now.

Nikita's back.
