Since my birthday, I have been feeling rather blue. I feel like I haven’t accomplished as much as I should have… and I am no where near where I should be financially. Of all my friends, I will be the last to get my bachelor’s degree. I’m at a job in which I don’t see very much opportunity for advancement. I still live at home…

With all the being said, I am very grateful to have Dwele in my life. I admit, we have our rough patches, but the one thing I am taking from this experience is all the things I’m learning from him.

1. Everyone needs f*** you money. For the first time in my life, I am forcing myself to save $. And I’m not touching it! I never want to be in a position to ever borrow $$ from an ex. I only have a double digit amount saved, but its a start!

2. Be a woman, not a girl. At first, I didn’t undestand what he meant. Biologically, I am a woman and not a girl… but its so much more than that!
a) be confident in yourself and your decisions.
b) look, dress, speak and carry yourself like a woman.
c) Cosmo put the last one best, be a fun, fearless female

3) Always follow through. I have a hard time with this one because I’m so indecisive. I’m getting better though.

those would be the top three on my list…. to be honest, I lost my train of thought, and I need to rest my head.
