: About Me

At 28 I'm coming to understand who I am and I'm learning to be okay with who I'm not because I know that my purpose in life is different than the next person's. Because I've done my share of settling, I've set my standards and expectations of myself and others much higher, and in an effort to make sure they remain high, I'm gradually parting ways with those who don't fit the bill. I'm not saying that I'm better than others because it's only by the grace of God that I'm in the place that I am right now. I just want people close to me to examine themselves, see life for what it really is and strive for more than the world wants to offer them. I've come a long way in so many ways, but not a day goes by that I don't strive to go further. I have broader horizons and bigger aspirations than BET and MTV want me to. Yeah, I'm different - and I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

I recognize that I am gifted when it comes to writing - and when I get in my element, well, there's no stopping me. For me, writing isn't just fun, it's therapeutic. The thing I love most about writing is being able to draw people in with something as simple as a word, a phrase, a description. Read my work and you'll see for yourself.

Entertainment > Celebrities (Other) Strange names for babies with celebrity parents

14 of 16

Is it really unthinkable that celebrities would give their babies unusual and in some cases absurd names? Why would anyone give their child an unusual name? Because it's all about being different...it's all about being unique and set apart from everyone else. While there's nothing wrong with Heather, Michelle, Jessica, James, Christopher and John, during their childhood, children with these names will probably run into and befriend kids with the very same names. Sure, it's cool for a little while, but how many of those children will wish that their parents named them differently? Celebriti...
