BEFORE THE HYPE:

2008 HAS BEEN A YEAR OF ACHIEVING EQUILIBRIUM..... BEFORE ALL THIS NIGHTLIFE STUFF I WAS JUST A NERD HONESTLY.... AND ONE THAT PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT TO LIKE OR BE AROUND.

BASKETBALL WAS LOVE, MUSIC WAS LIFE, AND WRITING WAS MY VOICE.


I WAS ALWAYS A STUDENT THAT MY PARENTS WERE PROUD OF BUT JUST WISHED THAT WOULD PUSH HERSELF A LITTLE MORE. EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT SO MUCH SO THAT A LOT OF THINGS BORED THE CRAP OUTTA ME BECAUSE IT WAS EASY.


IF YOU WOULDA ASKED ME 4 YEARS AGO WHERE I WAS GOING TO BE TODAY I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU THAT I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE GRADUATED FROM HOWARD ALREADY AND WOULD BE IN LAW SCHOOL AND SPENDING TIME INTERNIN AT THE URBAN LEAGUE OR IN POLITICS.


NOW IN FOUR YEARS I STILL WANT TO BE ON THIS NIGHT SCENE BUT I WANT TO BE FINISHED WITH SCHOOL, FINALLY, I WANT TO BE A TOP PRODUCING AGENT AT MY JOB, A PHOTOGRAPHER WHOSE PRINTS ARE LOVED AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES THEM. I WANT TO USE MY MODELING AND WRITING TO BRING AWARNESS TO THE SAME CAUSES AND INIATIVES THAT I WANTED TO INTERN FOR ON THE HILL. I WANT TO BE BACK PLAYING BASKETBALL AT 330AM THEN WRITING A SONG BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP.


SEE THIS YEAR WAS ABOUT GETTING BACK TO ME AND BEYOND THE EGO "ANJL" AND ALL THAT CAME WITH THAT. IM NOT JUST SOME HOT CHICK IM BEAUTIFUL INSIDE THEN OUTSIDE. IM NOT JUST SMART ON ACCIDENT IM INTELLIGENT AS A PERSON.


IN 09 YOURE GOING TO HEAR A LOT MORE ABOUT LIFE BEFORE THE HYPE BECAUSE I REALLY WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND WHY I DESERVE THE HYPE.... AND THAT I DIDN'T JUST FALL INTO IT BUT I WORK HARD TO GET WHERE I WANT TO GO


ALWAYS ANJL
