I am just a regular girl born and raised in the south. Growing up, my ideas and imagination paved my path through each day. A young girl with a great deal of time alone and a glorious mind filled with dreams. I was simple I suppose, I believed in human nature, aspired to have a faith driven life, and wanted to give to all around me.
When I imagined what I wanted to be when I grew up...I envisioned a strong, confident, powerful woman in a business suit with a briefcase walking into a tall building downtown. A loving family to come home to each day. It was that simple.
As I finished college...had a baby...went through a few jobs, I finally got a chance to pursue this dream. Each day I worked harder and harder to prove myself. With each passing month, I strived to be the person I believed the universe wanted me to be...I was driven by success and the unconditional love of my daughter. I achieved my goals and was successful at what I did. I bought a home, a new car and created an "ideal" life for my daughter and I.
Then, life happened. As quickly as it came...it has all gone away.
In the past few years, I have learned a great deal. I am thankful I was able to live the life I have lived, to acquire the things I did. Today, I am even more grateful to realize, my life was lacking substance. I had things, but I was empty.
I have recently decided to take a step back and find myself. I am now searching to find myself, become a better person and do my best to figure out where I am supposed to be...this is a task within itself. My mind races with ideas, then picks them apart one by one.
Today I give myself permission to breathe. To take one day at a time and allow myself to make mistakes. For with each mistake, I learn something new.
