Moment For Life

"I fly with the stars in the skies,
I can no longer try to survive,
I believe that life is a prize,
But to live doesn't mean you're alive.

Don't worry bout me,
and who I fire
I get what I desire,
it's my empire
And yes I call the shots,
I am the umpire
I sprinkle holy water,
upon the vampire (vampire)
In this very moment I'm king,
In this very moment I slay Goliath with a sling,
This very moment I bring
Put it on everything, that I will retire with the ring
And I will retire with the crown, Yes!
No I'm not lucky I'm blessed, Yes!
Clap for the heavyweight champ, Me! But I couldn't do it all alone, We!"
Moment for Life by Nicki Minaj ft. Drake

I know what you're thinking. You hate Taylor Swift and just quoted Nicki Minaj. What even. Hold up there my fellow critics. I could also write my own colorful review of Miss Minaj, but this is one song that could be my anthem. I'm not hood enough to even download her other songs. Not only do I love Drake's voice, but the lyrics (especially this first verse I pasted) is such a decleration of power and happiness.

Today is definately one of those days that I am just feeling an incredible rush of happiness. This past week has been so great! I had trouble sleeping for days prior just because I was so excited! On Tuesday I turned 18. FINALLY. I got a sweet surprise from my man, mom took me to get my nails done, some time with my family, and then I was officially sworn in to the United States Air Force. What an amazing experience! And an special shout out to my SWITCH girls for surprising me with a yummy cookie cake! I am so incredibly blessed and thankful for each and every person who made this the best birthday yet!

I am so optimistic about the climb I am on, where I am currently, and the beautiful view I will reach soon. I have a plan for my future, and amazing people to spend it with. Not to mention all the new friends I'll make along the way! I've only begun my airman adventure and already made amazing friendships. Kalley, you're definately on my list of role models and heroes!
The moments of bliss I've been blessed with lately, I truly wish I could have for life. They are indescribable, and made with sheer joy.

Senior year is almost half way over thank goodness! Everyone I know encouraged me to enjoy it and hang on to it. I think that if you're one of those people who wants to live in high school forever, I just want to say I'm sorry. That is a bit sad to me. Life is at our fingertips! I know many students, etc. who are scared of the real world. I say, Bring it! Let's get this going. My senior paper has been turned in, I'm ready for Christmas break, prom, spring break, and my cap and gown to be in my mainucred fingers! Class of 2013, baby!

There are definately times where it can all get overwhelming. For instance, I've never been a good runner. (Which I honestly think was mostly a mental block...) I just zone out and picture my military uniform, my new car, my future, and making everyone around me proud. Those things drive me so much. It's amazing to compare my outlook a year ago, to now. I had no idea where my future was going and everything was so up in the air. I'm talking in the air like NASA. Nowhere close to a plan. Then when I did have a plan, it changed more than my nail polish. Now I have a goal. I have extremely high expectations for myself and failure is simply not an option. That creates the powerful drive that gives me such a high. Sprinkle in a few fairytale moments and a smile I cannot get off my face and you've got one extremely blessed and happy Natasha.
