Throughout my life, I was always told I was "real mature" for my age. I took pride in that as I grew up. I've met some real immature teenagers, but that's because they are still living and experiencing life. What I don't get is how these adults can still be just as (if not more) immature than the teens!!!!
Some people are forced into adulthood by one thing or another, and some, no matter what is thrown at them, they just will not grow up. I honestly don't understand. I LOVE having my own. I LOVE being able to say "I did that" or "yup, that's MINE". So maybe that's why I don't understand how people can just sit back and let someone else do all the work.
I break my back every single day. Yeah it pisses me off that I have to clean these peoples shit(literally), but I'm doing it so I can get ahead. Is it the best job? Hell no. Can I find a better job? Absolutely! But right now, it's what I've got.
If y'all didn't know, I clean houses. I've been in so many beautiful (and some far from it) houses, that I can't help but DREAM of having a house of MY VERY OWN. I know I'm not getting any younger; I don't want to just BE.
I'm gonna do what I got to do to buy a house. "But don't you and your boyfriend need to be married first?" Who said anything about him? Lol yes, that is ideal and the plan. But let's be honest here, I'm very impatient. And when Jessica wants something, she gets it; no matter what(or how long it takes). I say that to say this: I want nothing more than to be a wife and a mother. And yes I'd like to buy a house with my husband and live happily ever after.....however, I'm not a wife and marriage doesn't seem to be in my immediate future. BUT, what's wrong with ME buying a house for us?
I have the desire and ambition to have and do whatever I want. I will be a published author. I will have a family. I will have a house. I will get another dog( or five, who can really say). I've spoken this info existence and I know with God by my side, any and EVERYTHING is possible.
Just something for all those of you out there who are rushing to become an adult- don't. Enjoy your younger years enough that when you become an adult, you can enjoy that too. Is it hard? Harder than you could believe. But at the end of the day, you are your own boss. Can't nobody tell you what to do with your car or your house. After all, it's YOURS. ;)
For those of you adults complaining about adulting- suck it upppp! You can't go back now! I know I wouldn't want to! Yes, playing games and having sleepovers were simpler times, but you have so much freedom as an adult. So get it together and make something to show for yourself because life will not wait on you to grow up. Before you know it, you've waisted too much and it's way too late.
Be easy. Stay blessed.
