I write about this a lot because I have changed so so much even just in the past year. I’m more independent, I freak out a lot less about things, I do more things for myself. Throughout high school, I didn’t really care about my future or really working hard for anything because I felt like it wasn’t a purpose to yet. But since I graduated, and since I have had my job for 2 years now, I’m starting to work for things to better my future. Even though I’m terrible at this whole college thing, I really want to work at it so I can start my career as a graphic designer. If you tried to get me to go to college two years ago, I would laugh at you and just tell you that I’m not going to waste my money. I smartened up and realized that I’m not going to have everything that I want handed to me. I have to work hard to achieve the goals I have set for myself. I’m proud that in my past 2 years since I’ve had a job, I’ve been able to support myself pretty well financially. I feel that as you get older you learn certain things that I can’t even really explain. Everything happens for a reason, and I don’t regret much that I’ve done in the past 2 years. Shitty stuff has happened, and always will, but I’ve matured enough to the point that I realize “okay, I have to deal with this, which sucks, but I WILL make the best of it” and that is the mindset that I handle everything with. The fact that I’ve graduated, and all the other things that happen around my age, have changed me (as they do everyone when they come to this point) but I’ve almost matured a lot in the past 2 years. I’m extremely grateful for everything that has happened to me in the past, because I learn from all of it and eventually have it as a lesson/experience. Yup!
