Summertime.
So, as many of you don't know, my 16th birthday was Friday. And although I was away at the Georgia Journalism Academy, I still had fun that day and yesterday. Since Friday was our last full day at the camp, they organized a banquet and dance for us which was definitely amusing. I enjoyed myself! Actually I enjoyed the whole week. It was fun, and I learned a LOT about journalism and writing a feature story. It was a great experience!
Since I didn't get to really do anything on my birthday with my friends back home, my mom bought me cake and said she'd take me and some of my friends to the mall/movies. We went to see Bridesmaids, which was hilarious! Lol, overall it was a good night full of laughter and shopping. My friends are the best :)
Even though I just came back yesterday (and haven't unpacked yet), I have to start packing AGAIN. My real birthday present is going on a shopping spree in New York, my home state, and we're leaving on Wednesday. I'm soooo excited! I get to see all my old friends and my family. I already know I'm gonna have a blast. We're bringing my niece back with us to Georgia so I'll be stuck babysitting for a couple weeks when I come back.
Oh, and if you haven't noticed, I don't have a blogspot subdomain anymore. I purchased a domain, but Blogger is still my host (for now).

I Smell Summer.
What a great weekend! Minus the fact that I didn't get to hang out with the boyfriend. My school had our PowderPuff game yesterday, I cleaned all the junk out of my room, and I'm blogging again :D Also, this is the last weekend of the school year! This week, all I have to do is take finals and then it will officially be SUMMER 2011!
At the Powderpuff game, the seniors played the freshmen, and after that we (sophomores) played the juniors. Since the seniors and juniors won out of the those two games, sophomores and freshmen had to play the loser game and seniors and juniors played the winner game. We won against the freshmen, of course. And the most intense game of the night, seniors vs. juniors, was close but juniors won by 3 points, making them the altogether champs this year. I had fun playing and chillin' with everybody yesterday, regardless of us winning or losing. Can't wait until next year!
I am so excited for this summer! I have almost my whole month of June planned out already:
Week of May 29-June 4: First week of summer. No serious plans, just gonna chill.
Week of June 5-June 11: Six flags with the boyfriend sometime that week. The 11th will be our 3 months, so we have special stuff planned for each other that Saturday ;)
Week of June 12-June 18: My birthday (June 17th) week! But, I'll be at UGA this whole week because I'm attending the Georgia Journalism Academy, which I not only got accepted into, but received a scholarship for.
Week of June 19-June 25: Since I won't be home for my birthday, this is the week I'll be celebrating my sweet sixteen. I'm going to New York for the week to go shopping in Manhattan, visit old friends, and enjoy my home state.
Week of June 26-July 2: I'm bringing my niece back down to my house when I leave New York so I'll be bonding and hanging out with her (and my boyfriend) this week. She'll have just turned four years old on June 23rd.
I'm definitely gonna enjoy myself this summer, before I have to get focused again for junior year. Just one last week to go and it starts! I'm ready, what about you?

"There is no remedy for love but to love more."
What is love? A question that has yet to truly be answered accurately. Truth is, love doesn't have one meaning. Everyone has a different view of what love is, a different way to love someone or something, a different kind of love to give, etc. Yet, you cannot deny that everyone needs love.
How can a simple, four-lettered word be so powerful to us? Love can make you sad, love can make you angry, love can make you happy, love can make you afraid, love can give you hope, love can excite you, love can make you jealous, love can disappoint you, love can even make you nervous.. Love can manipulate practically any human emotion. But, how can that be when no one actually knows what love is?
I guess what I'm trying to say is that love is indeed a beautiful thing. Somewhere in the midst of our painful hardships, our mixed emotions, and our obscure logic, we experience love one way or another. Nothing else can compare to what love can do, whether good or bad.. for the better or worse.
"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. For love is the beauty of the soul." St. Augustine

Caught Up.
"The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows."— Audrey Hepburn
Sorry, guys. I've been caught up with all my school work and what not. So, this is just a quick little post. I'll be back as soon as I can. In the meantime, follow me on Twitter (@KiaraYo). You can always contact me there. <3

The Strive.
strive / strīv / verb
1. Make great efforts to achieve or obtain something.
There's a lot of different things that people strive for. Perfection. Excellence. Change. Success. Etcetera, etcetera...
What do I strive for? Happiness.
It's hard for me to truly be happy, for several reasons. I get annoyed way too easily. The littlest things will just frustrate me and I don't even know why. Also, I give a fuck about what most people say about me. Don't get me wrong, I love myself and do what I like to do no matter what people think, but the criticism just gets to me sometimes. I'm try to ignore it though, I try. I make bad decisions 90% of the time. The funny thing is that after I make a bad decision, I tell myself to not make the same mistake again.. But when I'm confronted with the same or similar situation, all that shit goes right out of my head and I do the same thing over. When that happens, I just get so frustrated with myself. It's like I'm a big ass fuck up, but I've realized that this is life. Life is full of mistakes and up and downs. I'm learning to cope with "life", slowly but surely. Even though it may seem like I'm the happiest little camper, its a cover up. My big, white smile? Yeah, it's fake most of the time. I'm still waiting for the day when I can truly say I'm 100% happy, hopefully it comes soon. One of my favorite songs to listen to when I'm down is Losing My Balance by J. Cole. Listen below :)

The Inception.
Hi. My name is Kiara. I’m a young girl, with big dreams. My mother is primarily Haitian, but her grandmother was white. My father is African American, his father was partially Indian. But, I just tell people I’m black.. unless they ask about all that. Who cares about all that in-between stuff, anyway? Music is my medicine.. My main artists (no order) are: Lupe Fiasco, Wale, Musiq Soulchild, Big Sean, Rihanna, J. Cole, Common, Lauryn Hill, Kanye West, & Chris Brown. Speaking of which, currently listening to The Shows Goes On - Lupe Fiasco. Listen below:
I like a lot of other artists, but those are just my favorite. I enjoy a lot of old school songs, too. I actually have a hard time being truly “happy” which is why I’m constantly striving for happiness. But, no one really knows that because I hide my emotions way too much. Writing is my getaway, its where I let my true emotions show, and I love it. Writing releases a lot of my negative energy too. I aspire to be a journalist. I’ll also have my own books later on in life, so keep an eye out. That's all, for now. You can find more about me on my about page or by commenting with a question. Hopefully, you all will enjoy my blog. Hopefully someone will finally start to truly understand me.
“When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing -- then we truly live life.”
