Them "20-Somethings"

Looking back on my 20's, I really didn't have a clue but you bet not tell me that! I was tough like a tiger and nothing could stop, so I thought. I really thought I had it all figured out!  Although I had dreams the size of Mount Everest, I still had a lot to learn about this journey called "LIFE"!

 I'm sure a lot of you had conversations with your parents, where they warned you about how important having a plan is, how learning to be more organized is key, and stressing the important of continuing to college so that you'll be set for the real world, should be your top priority. They probably told you not to be "THAT GIRL". You know, the girl that's been in school for years, that changed her major at least 3 or 4 times and still doesn't know what she want's to do in life. Does this ring a bell? Well I've had a chance to get to know that girl and I connected with her on a more personal level. Since then, we've become really close. That girl that your parent was referring to is me. 

I used being in college as a way to decide what I really want to do in life. What's my purpose? What I can wake up every morning and do for free without being dissatisfy. This method however, cost me greatly! Had I not been in such a rush to move from under my parent strict ruling, I might have taken a second and really think thought about what it is that I want in life.

Not only was my career decisions and pathway a highway straight to hell, my relationships with men were a complete mess! I remember having guys come up to me and ask me for my number and thinking that every last one of those guys were interested in me. I would even go so far as think about what our wedding would be like if we were to get married... boy was I delusional! Friendship weren't any better. I gave every person a chance and the idea of being used by a person was foreign. 

It wasn't until turning 30 that I realize, life is a marathon where you're constantly learning, constantly teaching, constantly failing, and with consistency... constantly succeeding. You take each day one day at a time and live in each moment. Although my path was like a trail of bread crumbs being eaten by the big bad wolf, I wouldn't change anything about it. If you're ever embarrassed by anything you did in your 20's I'm here to tell you, don't be. Everything thing you experienced has molded you into the person you are today. Keep growing but more importantly keep going!!

Admittance is the First Step!

Admittance, according to Merriam and Webster, the act or process of admitting. Sometimes when you're in denial, its hard to come to terms with the idea of you having a problem. Where am I going with this you might ask? Well, I think I have a spending problem... lets be frank. The moment money touches my hand, I instantly have to spend it! It's like a raging fire in the palms of my hand and I have to get it out!! This subject is truly hard to write about being that I'm 31 years of age. At some point you're suppose to gain a sense of financial independence or responsibility whoever, this is nowhere near my situation. I'm blogging to the entire world with the chance of bring on a lot of judgment but I have to be honest with myself. As I repeatedly put myself in this financial holes, I can't help but think about why am I like this? Why am I not normal like everyone else, who's financially responsible. Growing up, being that I was the only girl, my parents ...
