25.

Wow,

So much in the last year has changed since moving to St. Louis. I've had a lot of ups and downs, new opportunities, and overall just a roller coaster ride. I can't really complain. It has been a hell of a time, regardless that doesn't take a way from the fun of things. Emotionally it is a bit draining to an extent.

There are many days when I think 'what if'? What if I would have stayed close to home? What if I had not tried something different? Mom keeps telling me to keep it together, and that things will work itself out. Mama knows best, right?! She wasn't wrong by any stretch. My patience have grown stronger... that is for sure. I guess I just have to keep playing this out to see where things will go.

Recently turning 25, I already feel a bit of weight being lifted off my shoulders because I am coming to realize each day that I live, I am growing. Sweating the small stuff will only add more stress... that is something I do not have time nor the patience for. A lot of that involves men. Men are stressful. lol. I see my friends getting married, and I wonder do I need to be on the same page as them? Then I turn around, and understand that I am doing just fine whether one is there or not. In due time, it would be nice, but again ... I need to be with 'me' first before taking on someone else.

Each day is a step... one foot at a time. Let's go!
