Another Year Lived

Holy crap, This year has taught me so much. 2013 has honestly opened my eyes in ways I can't even begin to describe.
Reading all my blogs that I wrote in 2010, makes me look back on Freshman year. I realize that not only myself as a person, but things have changed so much. It's crazy to think that tomorrow starts 2014, the year I graduate from high school. These 365 days have flown by so fast, that I still find myself writing 2012 on my papers.
The fact that a new year is starting also makes me see that it really took me 4 years to understand that life does actually go on. I still remember all the times I cried over some dumb guy, thought life was ending because things didn't turn out the way I wanted, or just thought that I had the worst life because a so called best friend lied to me. All those memories are funny now because none of that matters anymore. It crazy how bad they all seemed at the time and I always felt like I'd never be able to move past them, but none of those incidents even cross my mind anymore.
….I mean don't get me wrong, I still whine over break-ups and lost friendships, but now I don't spend all the time I use to depressing myself and mourning over it, because things like that come and go. I actually understand that the only thing that will honestly matter in the long run is Me, Myself and I, and the things I'm doing to help me succeed in the future.
I don't really have a new years resolution and there's no need to be a typical girl and say new year, new me because I love the person that I've become.
2013 was pretty great, But I know for a fact that 2014 will be better, and I can't wait to see all the wonderful things it will bring.

Sincerely, Akayla MiRanda

Quotes:
"D-Fresh Beatz - Crime Scene is the outstanding track here excellent idea, executed brilliantly another great artist from D-Tox Entertainment/E1 Music, this artist could well be on his way, with tracks like this, made for a movie soundtrack, I look forward to hearing more.
" Andros Georgiou (Excellent XXXX Stars) Grammy Board Member Dave Hampton; definitely a kid to look out for"
"Fall for You" It has a very Dr. Dre like sound all I was waiting for was M&M to chime in. Was that intentional? If so great work. If not then it shows you that you are heavily affected by Dr. Dre's production style. Are there any lyrics and how does the title "Fall For You" come to be? Great work, one of the best I've heard in the last few years."
"California Sun" WOW!! D-Fresh, you killin it man! I really like this tune it has potential and sets a good mood from the top. I want to hear the story. The name of the tune California Sun builds an expectation. It needs to be fulfilled with great lyrics. You create some real motion with very little and your use of reverb an delay is nice I want to hear lyrics. Of the two tunes reviewed this is actually my favorite. A&R's Listen to this: Yes! This tune is suitable for Crossover R&B. Here is a mental picture inspired by your track: I thought of a person walking on the beach and talking the narrative from the top at about 25seconds in the vocal starts and tells the story of this person lonely and thinking of the girl. Listen to it and look at the comments. Now I can see a Chris Brown type or some other male vocalist singing to this. I say Chris Brown because it's a dance-able tune. Many people think dance when they write to keep the possibilities open for their work to be successful on many levels."
