At the concert, she had a screen behind her while she was singing and she would have videos, images and quotes on it. One of the quotes that stuck with me was "A career is nice and all but it won't keep you warm on a cold night." When I read that, all I said was "Damn!" This is true and I'm sure many people can attest to it, especially women. I've found myself striving to be the best I am in the career field that I want to go into but sometimes I wonder; the higher I go in the career ladder, am I putting off meeting someone that I can spend my life with? And if so, am I OK with that? Granted I am only 22 years old and people always tell me that I'm still young and that I shouldn't worry about these things but still, I can't help but worry a little because I want to be able to share my success with not only my family but a man who I love and want to spend the rest of my life with. They say patience is key but sometimes, I doubt it all because I still haven't met anyone whose made me say "yes, this is him, the man who I want to be with until I die." How long must I be patient because the more time passes by, the more I think I will never find anyone. But enough of this sadness and let's get back to India Arie. I've uploaded two of her songs for you to listen to! ENJOY!!

India Arie
I recently went to an India Arie concert because I got free tickets. And if you don't know who that is, look her up! India Arie is an African American singer/songwriter whose songs are meant to empower women and men to forget what people think about them and just experience life for everything it has to offer; love, pain, anguish, heartbreak, joy, just everything. She is truly an amazing artist and I am so thankful that I was able to go listen to her sing.
