Twentysomething Now

Its time that we, in our twenties, are heard. So many times we are overshadowed by our elders who claim to understand what we need, but don't understand us. This blog takes a look at life through the eyes of a twentysomething.

Aww man!

I done finally up and did it. I promised that I would not blog, but when I really thought about it...what kind of sense does it make that I, a writer through and through, would not have a blog? So here I am...and here you are...

I have reconnected with quite a few old classmates from high school due to this website called Facebook. I fought long and hard against it, but now I'm on it, I have learned a few lessons (thanks Michelle). 1) Five years is a long enough time for people to learn some serious life lessons. People grow up and the person you knew to be and the person they are today are different people.

2) All that bull that came between people really isn't that important five years down the line. I honestly don't remember why I wasn't friends with some people and back to lesson 1, these people aren't the same as they were in high school and neither am I.

3) Certain people come into your life for a specific purpose or time period and some people become lifelong friends. Its okay if you let go as long as you've learned something.

Anyway, Facebook has been an interesting experience. Meanwhile, seven months after college graduation, I'm still without a full-time job, but Lord I've had quite a few jobs(a classmate wrote Just Over Broke...I like that). I wanted to live the life of a self-sufficient artist, but I CAN'T WRITE!!! I can outline and write character outlines until the cows come home, but when it comes to sitting down and fulfilling that story...it ends up being erased. Its ugly.

Hopefully, blogging will help me come out of this funk(I don't use writer's block...it was created by the man to sap the energy of all artists, who are rebels).

Good for you hon, I'm glad that you have a blog, and came over to the dark side of the Face book. You have always been a great writer, don't let anything, or anyone take that away, continue striving for your goal, and don't turn back.
