My Welcome to You

Just a little intro to myself and about this blog.

I am a late 20-something currently living in the heartland of the United States. The almost-ex-husband's job brought us here after living in Germany for 3.5 years. I had no desire to ever move here and can't wait to get out of here. I grew-up in the southern part of this country, and I have decided that I am not made for four seasons of the year. Not this Southern gal! GET ME OUT OF HERE! This is the fifth state that I have lived in so far (I have also lived in Germany). I have attended an estimated 15 different schools between the grades of Kindergarten and twelfth grade. No, I wasn't a military brat. Mom moved us a lot when I was growing up. I have met many different people along the way. Some I still keep in contact with. Some I'd rather forget. Some I wish I had never let go. Certain people are in our past for a reason, and every choice we make leads us to now.

This past year has brought me a lot of drama, but it has taught me a lot about myself. It's taught me that I am a strong person, but it has also shown me that I still need to gain strength in certain areas. I've become more of an adult than I was just a few years ago. I am not the same person. Even with this new growth, I know that I need to grow more now than ever. I am out into the world for the first time on my own, and I have a little one that depends on me. I never experienced life out on my own just after high school. I didn't learn at a young and crucial age what it meant to support myself. This is not a whiny brat telling you this. This is an ex-whiny brat telling you this. Remember what I said about choices? Well, I made the opposite choice that I should have made. I know now that I should have made the choice to go to art school after high school, but I thought I could take a year off, and then go to art school. HA! Who the hell was I kidding?? I ended-up joining the military instead, which is where I met my future ex-husband.

I've gone through anger management classes and have done a whole lot of soul searching, and I have been weeding out the negativity in my life. I've been slowly getting myself back--the HAPPY me! It feels great! No more living in anger! No more having to live as a masculine, hard woman! No more living as someone else! IT'S ALL ABOUT ME!!!! And doing what I want and living to please my soul, my inner self! I haven't felt so happy in so long, and I just feel absolutely FANTABULOUS!!!!

We'll see where this world takes me in my journey to live as a spiritually beautiful, feminine woman, and I will blog it all for all the world to see...
