Last month I had my 23rd birthday. That means that I've had 23 years of events, learning, interactions, and memories that make up who I am today. Some obvious, some not; but whether I want to remember it all, its still there. So, why is it that after all these years, I'm just now seeing myself and understanding who I am? Why am I just now falling into step with the rhythm of my being?

I don't know for sure, but I have some ideas. I think one problem for me was always worrying what others thought about me. In more ways than one. I majored in music because thats what was expected of me, I always longed to fit in with the "cool kids" in high school, and I've always been that girl that said "Oh, he'll change" when involved with a guy, not knowing that they never do; it was me that had to change. I had to stop taking care of them, and start caring for me. But in my struggle to fit in, I always felt like a stranger - the different one. I've always thought about others first, telling myself, "I'll figure it out later".

Well, I've finally figured it out. So, I've stopped studying music, stopped looking for guys to change, and stopped trying to fit in. This lead me to move to Oklahoma to finish school with a degree in interior design and I think its one of the best decisions I've made in a while. And I only took myself into consideration. I feel like now I can stand on my own two feet and realized my passion for interior design. Why deprive yourself of what you were made to do? I followed my heart and thats the best way of knowing - following you heart, your first instinct. I took a big risk and here I am............where are you?
