10 days untill i turn 24. i have done a lot of growing up over the years. ive been independent since i turn 18. I never ask my parents for a dime and im so proud to say that. Im really hoping to move out next year and everything will go smoothly. Im aware my parents wont be too fond of me moving out, since they need my financial help around the house, but its me time now, i deserve it. ive been patient. i want to be selfish and enjoy it while im still in my 20s. i am scared of not “making it” after i move out and then have no where to go after i didnt “make it”? im so scared but im willing to take the risk. Im ready to take the challenge and become my own person. i want to discover a whole other side of me that i dont know yet. i need my space. I need a roomate. yes? no? okay. Anyway, talking about indepence and being your own person, I dont understand some friends of mine who cant get their shit together. Dont they think about the future? Some of them have it “together” but are fucking shady, tight as fuck. i make money and dont mind spending but im not stupid and gonna go blow it off on clothes and alcohol. i know when to spend and when to save my pennies. im not saying i have it together entirely but damn i know right from wrong. People need to grow and make changes to better their lives. We as big kids need to be there to support eachother to grow and learn from eachother, but at the same time you should not wait for someone to come save and change your life. You yourself need to change your own life. Youre the one in charge of it not your parents, friends or partner. One of my New year’s resolutions is to only surround myself with the best people. The friends who are the most kind, passionate, and who mutually care about the relationship as much as i do. It’s not worth wasting your time on people who don’t make an effort back, and I’m definitely realizing this more as I get older. Life is too short to not be with the people who want to be with you and spend time with you! Love the ones who love you back. Heres to a new year full of many possibilities and most deff more traveling. Thats right im doing ME!
