Case of the 20's

Whoever said that becoming an adult would be a great thing was def sipping on that purple stuff rappers love to jam out to. Being a person that's very goal driven (surprise!) and becoming overly mature [note: at times] has probably lead to my dreaming of only a short skip and a hop to become an infamous twenty something


Imma let you in on a little secret. Four years ago, I had a pretty bad year. The last year of teenager-ing? Definitely the same. Nineteen (I know #fetusstatus) was definitely not an easy one for me. Probably the toughest assignment the man up above set me up to was figuring out who I am, want I want from life, and how and who will I surround myself to get me there. I've definitely distanced myself from great people for I figured judgement would arise on circumstances I judged myself for. WHY ARE WE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES? This year, it was a little bit almost inevitable I was ready for a year of shit. That's like a chinese type of symbol somewhere on the road right? 19 definitely had it's perks and I was ready for the real world until August 3rd at about 11:43 PM.

When the big clock struck midnight, I was in my bed. Reading blogs. Maybe yours. Not the glamorous life I wanted when entering phase one of adulthood. I was pretty frustrated and anxiety and all that pretty stuff flung through my body. Finally, when I woke up in the morning I realized things would be different. I was so happy to finally have my puppy but realizing that my 20's and the rest of my life wouldn't be glamorous? Well shit. Could I like stay 19 forever or....

36 hours into phase one, I just proved to myself that being an adult wasn't pretty and I'm ready to turn ten again! Cha cha cha's, Hiiiii-yaaaa's, and all. (They also say EAT MORE CHICKEN after cha cha cha's now, not sure where that comes in...) I had my mind up in the clouds, almost literally when I hurt my preciousness of a car. Who is now going to have to get an extreme makeover and leave rgord in a more terrible debt than ever. Again, adulthood proves to be a little female dog.

When bad things like that happen, we all tend to FREAK THE FREAK OUT, and go through EVERYTHING we have to be worrying about and then try to turn into inspector gadget and figure it all out when really we can't. Reality bites, trust me- I think I should be the brand ambassador for that...

After hearing eavesdropping on unnamed people in an unnamed location (look the sketchiness is back!), I decided I should check into the Lokai bracelet myself. The reasoning behind it had me sold in a heartbeat. Said unnamed woman was saying she broke down and bought it when she felt at her lowest point. When mid 20 year old life crisis, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. Buy something that will make her feel better [which I did]. Truthfully, I thought this was some dumb product at first like the rainbow-loop sensation (you know you work with kids when....) but after my research I was a sold lady. If you're feeling down, remember you have the same hours in a day as BEYONCE. Oh, and get a bracelet that will boost ya spirits.

  2. That's one freakin' cool bracelet! And girl, I'm 27 and still no where close to figuring it all out, knowing what direction my life is going, etc. So while it's sucky feeling, we can't dwell on it and just have to trust that everything works out in the end :) xoxo

  4. That dress is super cute! I know what you mean about turning 20 though, I had a little bonfire with like five people. It's only the beginning though! Your life will have MANY ups and downs, pros and cons, and you will always want to be a kid again, even when you're trying to grow up. Trust me..
