About the Project

Hi, and welcome to my blog! I’m a twenty-three year old female who’s on a mission to change myself and my life by my next birthday. When is that? November 9th, 2008. When I woke up on my twenty-third birthday I was so depressed and unhappy with my life that I didn’t even want to celebrate, let alone get out of bed.

It all started a year and a half ago when I ended a six and a half year relationship with my “high school sweetheart,” had a falling out with my dad, fell in love with a married man, switched jobs twice, moved out of my house, moved back into my house, was broke to the “gas or groceries” point and began a legal battle over finances and property with my ex that still carries on today. Not only did this year break me financially but it royally screwed me up emotionally. One hit after another. There were so many times I wanted to just sell every single item I owned, quit my job and just leave. No ties, no belongings… just myself and my freedom.

This isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about shifting myself and my life so that I am a better person in a better place. On my twenty-fourth birthday I want to be happy and content with my life. I want to be surrounded by love and have my life in a place I want. So I started this blog to capture my journey… Come along for the ride if you feel so inclined. And who knows… maybe I’ll work up the courage to reveal who I really am!

Amazing Goal! I hope you achieve it and so much more. I think you have the ability to not only change yourself but the people who are connected to you.

Piece of advise:

Life is only 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to what happens

my mom says it a bit more poetically-but its what I have lived my life after… Its made me realize just how in control I am of how the bad shit controls my life.
