Being a Grow Up

Image result for adulting
 
This is too much... I've been adulating for waaayyyy tooooo long.  Growing up I was in such a rush to be grown... so at 19 I had my first kid which left me no choice.  At this point I've been adulating for so long that the days of not having any responsibilities seems like it never happened.  Now that I'm finally almost done with school I have to adult some more.  Making the choice between the job of my dreams and a good job ready for me now isn't as easy of a choice as I was expecting it to be.  Unlike other students half my age I need something now.  I have a household that depends on me, so the sooner I can finally make some real money the better. I've been incredibly Blessed since my kids were small to always have a pretty good job.  Now I want to settle into my career, and make a difference in the company.  This isn't all about the money for me it's about being an asset, and a valuable member of a team (the money is just a bonus).  I want to enjoy what I do, and be happy about going into work everyday.  I can't do anything for the next 30 plus years, and not be happy about it.  That's not the kind of life I want to lead.  So adulating it is!  Forever.... Goodness.... I'm not complaining (well not really anyway)  I'm happy God placed this order of events in my path.  It's been an interesting journey that's for sure.  But to all you college students out there....You have the rest of your life to adult.... Take your time.

I was abused...

Ok. So while this is not my proudest moment in life due to a family member recently experiencing abuse is the reason why I think it's important for me to revisit my experience.  However, this will be short, because I prayed and promised that I would NEVER let this crap consume my life ever again. I spent 8 years with my abuser.  Not being raised in a household with both parents made me want that for my children so I lived with verbal and physical abuse to give them what I didn't have.  Imagine me a 22 year old young woman with 3 kids and no real idea of what this family dynamic was supposed to look like.  I was raised by loving grandparents, but they were old even when I was young, and didn't teach me what I needed to know about this kind of stuff.  I learned the hard way. I would always fight back which is why I think it lasted so long.  Just because you defend yourself doesn't make the abuse ok.  He's still a man and was stronger than me....

Teenagers for SALE

Where should I start.... Oh yeah! My kids are spoiled! And yes I know it's my fault... I was super spoiled the same way growing up so I guess a lot of how I am comes from that.  I also feel like I have to over compensate because the majority of their wants, and needs come from my household.  But sometimes I want to kick myself, because it's getting out of hand! I work very hard to provide for them and they see me working day and night to get done with school, take them here, there and everywhere in-between on top of going to work ect.... But does that register when they want something..... HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOO! I could have JUST sat down, and here they come and not with a "Hi Mom! How was your day" but with a "Moooommmm I need, I want, can I thins, can I that" OH yeah and YOU take us, because my friends parents aren't running us all over creation like you will because you don't want us out walking the streets after dark! I need to be on...

Welcome to Whatever this is...

I'm kinda scared that this might actually work, and that even after the class I'm doing this for in the first place is over I'll have to keep it going because my fans will demand more...

Mother Fiancée Daughter/ Daughter-In-Love (not law, I'm so much doper than that) Big Sister Bestie BAE (Best Aunt EVER) Cousin Employee/ Co-worker Child of God A Black Girl that ROCKS (Duh) And a bunch of other things to people I can't name right now, because I'm truly every woman!
