Goodbye 22. Hello 23
Hey,
So it's been about a billion years since my last post. I fail. Epically. I figured in honor of my birthday I would post something. So here we go...
Ah 23, we meet. Closer to 25 than to 20! :/
As my birthday has been getting closer and closer I have started thinking about my life. Let me start off by saying that it has not gone the way I had planned. I figured by now I would have graduated from college have my own place and a grown up job. As it turns out, I live at home have 3 years of school to complete and have the best job ever that I can't turn into a career. To make things worse I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with my life. I keep going back to the same thing but it freaks me out so much I don't know if I can handle it. I am giving myself until 25 to figure it out.
All that being said, I would not trade my life for anything. All I have been through has given me a different perspective of this world. I may be a little bitter at times and seem jaded but I know what not to do. I have some amazing people in my life who support and care about me and inthe end that's all that matters. People won't remember what you own or drove or where you went on vacation. People care about how you affected their life and the impact you left. I may not know what the next 10 years have in store for me but I'm okay with that. I will figure it out and trust that the big man upstairs has a plan for me and that all the stuff that I have/am/will go through is part of a bigger picture. My favorite verse has taken a whole new meaning in the last few years.
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. -Jeremiah 29:11 I will cling to that in the next couple years and figure out the path I'm supposed to be on.
Ps. I am packing up and heading to Puerto Rico on Saturday! I will definitly have a blog about that when I get back.
Until next time,
J

You're still young. You've got plenty of time to figure life out. I'm feeling similar things too, BRF! I love you, and I think you should try and fulfill your dreams...without worrying so much about money!! <3
