Working a 9-5 while still trying to work my hustle/passion of entertainment & lifestyle journalism is not easy. I am a pretty spontaneous person and unless your born with a silver spoon in your mouth or you don't mind living like a bum it is kinda difficult to be spontaneous as an adult. Finding time and energy to find events to attend, while shopping for a house, while being a wife, and working a regular job. I realized a long time ago that for the most part my 20's will consist of hustling, grinding, having chaotic moments, taking risks, and changing course but I'm still trying to fit in some fun.
Adult Life (ready or not)
Life in your mid twenties is confusing, fun, scary, and empowering. It seems like the older you get the easier life gets..... let me repharse that the easier it is to put things in to perspective and therefore not stress over the little things that you have no control over. But then there are big things that you have to begin focusing on such as my current stresser searching for and buying our first house! I feel like this is the next major goal, and step in not only my journey of life but also me and my husbands journey.
Some if not most of our friends still heavily depend on their parents for financial support, though we have had some assistance from our families for the most part we have been out in the world on our own. My parents will help if I asked but I am a very independent person and know that with the current financial state of the economy it is tough for everyone so we do for ourselves so that we don't have to be a burden on anyone else, and of course I like the since of pride I get knowing that I haven't been given anything in life for free and we worked hard to get where we are at without hand outs.
Me and my husband are on a mission to build a legacy for our children, a strong and stable foundation so that our kids do not have to struggle like we did.
Things that have inspired me this week....
I am a pretty spontaneous person and unless your born with a silver spoon in your mouth or you don't mind living like a bum it is kinda difficult to be spontaneous as an adult. As a child I wanted to be gypsy, and I wanted to travel and see amazing sights eat amazing food and meet amazing different eccentric people. After watching a special edition show on E! about the band No Doubt it was like something clicked! I feel inspired again my creative juices are flowing and my writers block is fading away. No Doubt was like the first alternative band that I feel in love with as a child. In school I always walked to the beat of my own drum, I didn't like the same music as majority of my classmates and I was just slightly different. I didn't have a clique or crew that I hung out with I was friends with everyone because it was like I didn't want to miss out on getting to know something or someone interesting. Tonight was the first time in a long time I feel like I felt as a kid, like I just want to explore and soak up any and everything different, interesting and new. Needless to say I think I have my stride back!
