I'm now embarking on month 3 of being in the "real world" and it is still so surreal.

The transition from college graduate to full on career woman seems to be a long, long road. And I must admit I'm finding it hard to navigate. I'm still trying to figure out exactly where this life will take me. With a BA in Mass Communications, print journalism, my career path isn't exactly in the top 10 careers that will skyrocket me to becoming the next multi-millionaire right away, however, I'm still very content with my decision. I've always loved to write.

I always tell my friends sometimes I wish I could have a sneak peek at my life 5 years from now.. I'm so impatient, I just want to know where I'll be in 5 years time. It would make the little uncertanties in life so much more bearable to know that in that time everything will have fallen into place and will make sense. They think I'm crazy. Maybe I am.

Chicago| 4th of July

I'm starting to see

that it's not really meant to be

as long as your hearts with her

it's not available to me

no matter what I do

there's no getting through to you

time to spit it out

I bit off more than I could chew

You find beauty in ordinary things, do not lose this ability.

"It seems easier to live with routine of hurt, misery and baggage than to take a chance and release it."

"I walked around for years with the guilt and hurt of what happen to me, misery and negativity were so common in my life that I almost expected the worst out of every situation. Regardless of our circumstances, EVERYONE deserves a fresh start, a change in what we are used to. When I cut my hair, I took a chance at living a new life by releasing the one thing that I loved and was afraid to let go of. When I speak to survivors from DDG I always make reference to how the attachment to my long hair held me captivate for years. I want them to feel encouraged to know that until they let go of their baggage they can’t free of their past. I encourage everyone to step out and take a chance in embracing their unknown. I believe it is a vital step in any women’s developing a sense of pride and confidence they need to feel whole outside of the traditional perceptions of beauty. This is something that every woman at some point in their life should experience."
