Long time no talk….

Hello.
Hi.
Howdy.
Heyyyy.
Hola.
Greetings.
Sup?

“Is this thing on???”
In the wake of anything possibly awkward, I always pull that one liner out of my back pocket. It’s never successful, but somehow I always find myself saying it and then am immediately embarrassed. These types of incidents happen frequently.

It’s been a while. I know. I know. I was gone for a long time guys, I’m so sorry for that. Life has been crazy, and I don’t see the point of going into it all, but I’m back now, and that is all that matters. Be comforted.

So, in a nutshell, I’ve been living with my parents in Charlotte, NC trying to figure out my life and what I want to do. I got the awesome opportunity to go to NYU for a month (I returned to NC about a week ago) and take some classes within the Clive Davis School of Recorded Music. That was as cool as it sounds. Seriously. My classes were great, I learned a lot, kept very busy with schoolwork, and lived in the beautiful city of New York for 3 weeks. I also met some great people. But I digress.

Being 24, and pretty much starting over is a scary thing. I think we trick ourselves into thinking our 20’s are so glamorous and fancy free, but no one really tells us that your 20s are basically the worst. Yeah sure, I’m single and I can “do whatever I want”…. but at the same time  I’m trying to figure out what exactly makes me tick, what I want to do the rest of my life, where I want to do it, and how to get the funds that will “make my dreams come true”.  OVERWHELMING.

I will say this concerning my 20s, I am finally confident in myself and who I am, and thats a relief. Walking around NYC for 3 weeks by myself definitely helped with this, it came at the perfect time in my life where I felt everything had been turned upside down, and I was able to successfully run away and be me. HAHA. That sounds ridiculous.

This is a bit more serious than my usual posts, but I thought I owed you guys at least something substantial. I’ll be funny next time. BTW- I’ve started recording all the ridiculous things I say/crazy things that happen to me so I can share it with you guys. If I’m serious about writing a book in the future, then I need to get started somewhere!

You’re all wonderful human beings.
