I am 22 going on 30. Some people get to live out their college partying years, and be stupid and do things they might regret. I, however, do not get to do that. But do I care? Not a chance. Yeah, sometimes I want to be normal, with a normal school career and a normal major at a normal college...but that will never happen, nor was it destined to. I was put on this earth for a reason. I didn't realize it until this year though.
I make people smile...it's my thing. I don't like to see displeasure or unhappiness, nor do I care much for sadness. I am very empathetic, so it goes without saying that every time someone feels like that, I feel the same. This is part of why I am here today.
I am a mom. I'm a young mom, too. I think this has made me grow up even more so than I already was. I was married once too. I went through more pain during the hard times of that marriage than I should have had to, ever. But my son brings me so much joy, it's impossible to top it. I love him so much, even if I didn't plan on having him. He wasn't my mistake...he was my pleasant surprise!
I have had to grow up an awful lot these past few years...being out on my own, leaving college and having no home for a few weeks, and having to move all over the country to find where I needed to settle down. I'm still in that process, but like I said...I'm 22 going on 30, and no one ever said I had to finish my life now.
