Destiny

Destiny... does anyone believe in it anymore? If it is meant to be, it will happen. Those are words that I have been trying to live by for the past couple of years, basically because things haven't exactly gone the way I thought they would in life. I thought by the age of 25 that I would be in my dream job with a husband and the thought of kids would be inching its way into my thoughts.

Boy, oh, boy am I far from off the mark.

Don't get me wrong, my life is okay and I am happy with my friends and relationships I have with them but I am still looking for something more. That special someone in particular (preferably baring a remarkable resemblance to Ryan Gosling, do you hear me Lord? cough cough). I have been saying that if it is meant to be, it will be. I am speaking broadly about my relationships/career. I am spending a fair share of my income to paying back my student loans and I cannot convey how frustrating it is to be sending out that money and not even be utilizing my degree.

As hard as it is for me to say this because in the past, I have never made New Year's resolutions, for the sole reason that I KNOW that I will not stick to them. However, this year, I am turning a new leaf and have made a few realistic resolutions that I am hoping will actually happen. One, writing more for this website because I am sorely lacking in my articles. While I will not bore you with all of my resolutions, I will include the one that I am the most dedicated to, finding my dream job and putting my degree to use!!! If "destiny" is not going to do its job, I am going to give it quite a shove! I want to challenge everyone, instead of being complacent and complaining about our jobs, let's get proactive and change it. I know, shocking idea right?

Go back to school if you need to, it might be hard work but I am truly one of those people who believes that hard work and dedication will win out in the end. Check back in with me in a year and we will see where I am at.

Here goes nothing ...
