Sitcom

"Your life should be a T.V. show," she said to me.

My life damn well should be. And it shouldn't be one of those sappy soap operas or those corny teenage dramas but a real show. Completely unlike Keeping Up with the Kardashians or Flavor of Love. Something that mixes How I Met Your Mother-esque humor with Outsourced grandmothers, Entourage-styled out pretty boys, and Gossip Girl chicks minus the gossip and a girl like me who believes every challenge that ends up on her plate is like an intense episode of Survivor where the outcome is always uncertain. There shall be no Super Sweet 16's and no fancy cars sponsored by Pimp My Ride. It should be a ghetto version of MTV Cribz or not ghetto, maybe Indian. It should be centered around the concept in Tupac Shakur's poem about a true rose that grew from concrete. Something that would blow Paris Hilton's life as an heiress out of the water. Because I'm not ghetto but I've had my hard knock times. Because I'm not the most amazing person in the world, just one of them. Because I'm nothing special to all the people in the world but to a couple hundred I know i mean the world. And for that, i am blessed.

My life is dramatic but it is never so in a bad way.

I realize I'm pretty damn entertaining and the stories I tell have value, they have weight, they have depth, they are full of morals and, above all, they are real. I humor people and make fun of myself. I educate people and act like an intense know-it-all. My life is full of a lot of conversations. It seems I meet new people every other day. On top of that I make stronger deeper ties with those I've already come to know. And I remove everything of insignificant value because my life is being shaped. I'm growing mentality and I'm learned to hone the ability to pick and chose who sticks around in this life of mine. After all, "it's all in the company you keep..."

God knows he's letting me live like a Diva.

So today I must be thankful, today I must realize that life has been granted to me not once, but twice this time around. That my parents bust their ass so that I can have this sitcom style life and a hundred viewers right off the bat. My life is beautiful and today I'm thankful to all you for that.
