5 months, 34 days

So heres my first blog! Hmm, where to start?

I am 20 years old. I was born in the Twin City of Minnesota, and raised mostly in Southern California. I now am living in Utah and today I begin my countdown. In exactly 5 months and 34 days I turn...

21!

I'll be an adult in the whole sense of the word. Something I've been looking forward to since.. well every since I turned 12. I've always felt older then I am, so it's weird that I'm actually nearing my 21st birthday. I am EXCITED about LIFE and All the experiences it holds... I'm ready to see the world how the Lord intended man to see it, all the beauties of the Earth! But the only thing is....I'm stuck here in Utah, I've been tied down since I was 16, working full time, then 2 jobs and living that good ol' independent life (that was my choice, can't blame anyone) It seems the days get more and more monotonous by the minute.
Although I'm tied down with these jobs and paying bills, my prayer was answered! 3 weeks ago, I was told at my first job (UPS) plain and simple, I'm being laid off! Woohoo.. In my heart, I was secretly rejoicing because I always wanted to quit that job, but kept thinking, No, I need the money. Well now I have no choice. Starting October I'll have so much time on my hands, and I'm very excited to use that time towards all the long term goals I've set! 21... and I ain't holding anything back! I'm going to persue anything I want to do.

I was watching beyonce's Year of 4 documentary on youtube, and I liked what she said...

"Sometimes we don't reach for the stars. Sometimes we are satisfied with what people tell us we are suppose to be satisfied with. And I'm just not going for it."

yep, I'm not going for it either! Ready to renew myself, and preparation starts now. 5 months and 34 days.... 21!
