Diary of a Single, Successful and Complicated Woman

I’m a 30 year-old woman trying to make it day to day, in this crazy thing we call life…

Rough Week…

So…this past week was sort of a doozie…with tremendous highs and disastrous lows.  For the time being…I’m OVER a couple of people in my life right now.  I hate that I cannot entirely be myself and I am tired of apologizing or feeling as if I have done something wrong (when I have done nothing wrong).  I am seriously contemplating making a few major changes.  Sometimes you need to get rid of the old to make more room for the new and more positive.  Sigh…here is hoping for a more positive week!

~ “Make sure the people around you are lifting you up and not pulling you down. Surround yourself with people who share your vision and passion for life. You’ll be like whom you hang around and the quality of your company will determine the quality of your life. Make no mistake about it: eagles don’t walk with turkeys and turkeys don’t soar with eagles!” – Tony A. Gaskins Jr.

Coming into My Own…

So…I recently had a birthday and am no longer almost 30…I am 30!  And I have to say, that I am not unhappy either.  Don’t get me wrong, I still have my moments from time to time; however for the most part, I’m relatively happy these days.  And it sort of happened overnight.  I woke up one day and realized I needed to make a few changes in my life.   I’m trying to be a little more social and proactive…eating right and exercising more…and doing my best to be more present.  And by no means has this been easy…it has taken me YEARS to get to this point.

I know that I have a long road ahead of me…however I’m optimistic about it and looking forward to the future…

Random Emails…part III

Update…so I had a conversation with him via IM and made my intentions very clear.  While, it was a pleasant conversation and I appreciated the updates, I really wanted to cease communication with him.

He seemed to take it well and hopefully, he’ll respect my request.  But only time will tell…

I really wish there was some way he and I could be friends, because I really enjoy conversing with him, however I am not that strong.  I cannot be friends with him without catching feelings.  Basically, my life is so much easier when we do not communicate…

End of the year…

Wow…this is my last blog of the year.  2009 was a good year for me.  I learned a great deal about myself and the world around me.  I finally started to put myself first and realize I cannot be friends with everyone, nor should I be in relationships with men who are not fulfilling my basic needs of love and respect.

I appreciate everyone who has viewed my blog on a daily, weekly, monthly or one-time basis.  All of your comments, words of wisdom and advice have really guided me through this growth process.  Knowing that other people could relate and identify with the ups and downs of being a single 20-something woman really motivated me.  Thank you for allowing me to be open, honest and free!!

I look forward to sharing more of my journey with you in the upcoming year…I wish you all a happy, joyful and safe New Year’s Eve!!  And Happy New Year…

Take Me or Leave Me…

This is going to be my theme song for 2010.  I really believe everyone should have a theme song.  Each year, I chose a new theme song and this one is it…if you haven’t noticed by now, I love the musical Rent!!

All the songs are poignant and applicable to my life and I’m sure many others.

So, there you go…take me or leave me…
