There have been a few times now that I've been scrolling through my social media and saw someone that I used to go to high school with post about their achievements or what they're doing now and they are flat out proud of themselves for it ... now maybe I never saw them going for what they are great at doing now, or maybe I just didn't realize that they loved doing what they now do. Either way, I felt happy for the person every. single. time. no matter who it was or how well I knew them.
I followed one kid's journey starting his own business, though I have never spoken a word to him, I still made sure to show my support because it just wasn't what I imagined him going for?? I guess you could say.. and I knew from experience that everyone's support gives that extra push needed to succeed.
Though things for him didn't go as planned, he still kept going and turned it into something new that more people supported. He. Didn't. Give. Up.
Another person who was blessed with a child as a young teenager is living her absolute best life right now. Even though everyone had to give her shit when she was pregnant because "she was too young", "she was ruining her life" or "she wasn't even married yet", she still managed to succeed. She was strong enough to take care of her precious baby and move on to college. I just saw where she finished schooling and she is ready to enter the work force to take care of her and her baby. I am SO happy that she was able to get to this point, because I know that not many people could have.
Multiple people have gone to technical school, maybe cosmetology school, or community college and they are all literally thriving. These girls are graduating from LBI or the Beauty College and they're ready to kick ass in the "real world". They have skills that are unbelievable and I CANNOT wait to see where they go with them. Some of these ladies, I knew that they would thrive in this area basically because I could see how talented they were doing their own hair and makeup. Some of them came to me as a total surprise and I am blown away at how amazing they are!!
These guys have their certifications and they're about to have higher paying jobs than many people I know that have paid thousands to go through some big, fancy college. Once again... THRIVING!!
Though I may sound like I'm about to talk about how you do not have to attend college to make something of yourself (which I do believe), I'm not. I'm really trying to talk about these people's confidence and bold choices. Whether you went to college or not, ~I'm happy that us kids are actually living life and making something more of ourselves than what was expected of us.~Not only that, but the fact that people my age who may have some fear about where they're going in life, come out looking absolutely fearless and full of confidence.
I will never stop being amazed and so excited for all of us who are going our own routes and making our dreams HAPPEN.
Just when I thought I was going to be forced to do something I didn't truly love, y'all inspired me to go try something risky and do what I love.
NEVER QUIT BEING INSPIRED
NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT YOU LOVE
the sooner we recognize life is too short to be stressin' and not loving every moment, the sooner we can all be happier with ourselves and our life choices.
