Since turning twenty nearly four months ago, I feel like I've reconsidered every aspect of my life. Turning twenty really made me rethink things, and made me realize that life is short. I've got to do what I want to do, not what others want me to do.
I'm literally sitting in my living room fighting with myself to not write this blog, I have homework that needs to be done: I honestly just don't care if it gets done or not. School is not my #1 priority, and it should be. I've been miserable since I started college my freshman year, not really caring if I passed or not, just doing enough to skate by. That is sad... I pay for my college education, not my mom and dad, me.
I'm not sure why I can't motivate myself to do better and want to strive to make good grades. Don't get me wrong, my grades are not horrible, but they're not where they should be.
I feel rushed to make a decision on what I want to do, because everyone around me is engaged, getting married, graduating college and being successful: here I am pouring my heart out to a computer screen. (sigh)
My grandmother used to say, "don't worry It'll all come out in the wash". I now find myself wondering if she had any magic detergent because I feel like I've waited for it to come out in the wash more than once.
I want to do something that I love, I want to go to work every day and enjoy myself, or even stay at home and raise my kids. I know that God has a plan for me, and I'm just not being patient enough to see what he is trying to show me. All I know is that I'm miserable in school, I really resent myself for a lot of things and I feel like I need to have everything figured out right now.
2013 is going to be a year of change and I'm so thankful that no matter how many times I fall on my face I know I have family, friends, and the most wonderful boyfriend in the world that will help me pick up the pieces and start again. Life is like learning to ride a bike: I think I'm finally ready to take off my training wheels.
