Figuring Out This Thing Called Life; A Blog by Me!
Hi. Welcome to my new blog. Just like anyone, I have insecurities, frustrations, and bad days. Days where I don't feel like doing anything because I am so exhausted with life. I also have great days where I enjoy everything, the sun seems brighter and the flowers smell wonderfully full. And I have everything in-between those things. In this blog, I am going to just share. I am going to share the good, the bad, the ugly, the embarrassing, the overall plain boring, I am going to share my life. I am going to let everything out in the open. Sometimes I feel like I can't share things on social media because my parents, or aunts and uncles, or even friends are on there and I either don't want them to know, or I don't want to be judged. So, I am here. This is my life, mostly uncensored, totally real, totally human, and completely see through. This is going to be my safe haven, a place where I can share without feeling like I am annoying someone, or like I can't talk about it (because that's a girl issue, and it's not lady-like to talk openly about it... *eye roll*) because it is not something society see's acceptable. If you feel so inclined to share your story with me, I would love to hear it. I want this to be a place where everyone can be themselves without worry and without hurting. I ask that if you are to share, or comment please be respectful of other people. Take their feelings and concerns into consideration. I ask of you no cursing. I want this to be a place where we can get out of the world and into a corner where we feel good and safe, and like ourselves. No masks. Now, that being said if I feel so inclined I may use a word here or there but only when I feel like there is no other way to express what I am trying to, but I will always give warning. I am Mormon, and that may turn some of you away, but I ask that you give me a chance. If I am to talk about religion, it's my experiences with it, and what I believe. I will never tell you, you are wrong or bad for thinking what you do, and I ask that you do the same. I will try not to get too crazy with what I share. Just know I am not trying to force anything on you if you continue to follow me.
So, where am I at this point in my life?
I am turning 20 years old soon. Two whole decades! WOW! I am old. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am a young woman. I graduated from high school in 2016. I live in Arizona, still with my parents. I am the youngest of 3 daughters. After high school, I took a gap year, mostly because I had no idea where I want to go with my life or what I want to do, but also, like many, I have to pay for it all on my own. And that is hard! I just felt like (and knew) that I didn't have the money to be successful, and I didn't want to waste my time and energy on something that wouldn't get me very far.... I know totally a Millenial mindset, but hey, that's me. I am a millennial, I am living in a generation where so much of life is new. The stage I am at in life is fast, everything feels like it is going 24960 mph (yes, I made up that number...)
During my gap year, I took an institute class through a community college, by request of my parents. I got my second job (it was seasonal, and I decided I didn't want to work for the company after that even though I would have been invited back for other "seasons".), I was a part-time nanny for my cousins baby, and I did a whole lot of laying around. I kept hoping that something would fall into my lap, that magically if I perused my way through life something amazing would happen and I would know exactly what I am supposed to do, where I am supposed to be and you know, be perfectly perfect and have the happily ever after. Just like a fairy tale. It hasn't happened yet just so you know.
Right now, I am a nanny, the baby is 6 months old. I also am still at my first job (lifeguarding), and I still love it as much as I did the day I started. I know cheesy. A lot of people think lifeguarding is an easy high school job, but it is a lot of responsibility, and it helps me get things paid for. I am taking an online class, through the same community college, it's English 101. This class has challenged me more than any other class (maybe at the end of the semester I will share how it goes). I also am taking an institute class again (I have found it difficult to go though, I think I have gone to 4 classes, I know it's terrible.) But it has been hard for me, when I do go I don't get out what I should be getting out of it. (If that makes any sense.) And it's not because I don't believe in my religion, but sometimes, life gets in the way and sometimes it kicks your butt.
I am just trying to figure this thing called life out, and these are my experiences and feelings. If you are reading this, I hope you have a good night (it's 7:30pm here currently.) And please come back!
