Almost A Quarter of a Century
So it is now a few days before my 23rd birthday. I never thought that this is where I would be at this age. When I was in middle school, I never saw myself graduation from high school. When I was a Charger, I never saw myself graduating from college. And when I was a Warrior I never imagined myself to have a full-time job in a field that I actually enjoy.
It's almost the eve of my 23rd, and this is how my life has been panning out. I was in a relationship for over 3 years with someone. A relationship that everyone saw lasting until the end of time, everyone but me apparently (and some really close friends). Everything about my life was changing in the earlier months of this year. I was graduating from school (which has been a constant in my life since the age of three), I was leaving my first job for good (not the company mind you, just the job, I had been promoted). I accomplished my first internship and decided the industry that I wanted to pursue. I thought that I had a steady relationship, but came to realize that I was unhappy with it. I had made some new friendships, and regrettably starting phasing out my old ones. I lost my absolute best friend (who also just happened to be my Golden Retriever), and I'm still mourning over his death but have come to terms with it, through some books that I have been reading. I'm slowly finding comfort
So I sit here now, and find myself to be happy in all aspects of my life. I'm turning over a new leaf in my life, and starting a new chapter. I've come to actually be happy in my decisions.
* I'm a college graduate with a bachelor's in Finance... something that I will probably never use.
* I have a tremendous boyfriend whom I absolutely adore, and I'm not a low priority to him. We had a talk about a week ago, and he does make every decision with me in mind.
* I have a job that I absolutely love. I love the people that I work with and learning about the entertainment industry
* I have great friends, who seem to understand that I really want to be there with them, but I have a crazy crazy life and sometimes I just need the night to take a nap. I feel absolutely horrible that I do have to cancel on them when I do. I talked to Jen back in June and confided in her how bad I feel, and I don't want to lose them in the slightest. I'm just waiting for my life to calm down and I hope that they can be there when that happens.
* My family has been tremendously supportive in the decisions that I make... It's such a good feeling to have one of your aunts or uncles come up to you to tell you that they hope that their kid will take the same path that I did.
So now I sit here at my desk, pondering what new computer I'm going to buy with the money that I will be receiving for my birthday, because the doodle ate my computer cord... and realize that I'm happy in life. It only took me 23 years to get to this point in my life. And I know that every year I tell everyone that I'm turning 19 again. I think this year however, I'm going to turn 23 and pick up my life with all that it entails and enjoy it again.
Happy Birthday to Me.
