Destiny: Following Your Dreams

I went out for drinks Friday night with my boyfriend then we got hungry so we stopped in at a BurgerFi. There we began speaking to this 17 year old employee about life. It got me thinking, I wish I knew someone like me when I was that age.

He told us that his mother wants him to go to college because she never went and he did not think that was the path for him. I could relate to this kid 100%. I went to school because my mom wanted me to, I joined the military because my dad wanted me to. What about what I want to do?

What are you doing about it?

Lately life has been very stressful for me. Started a new job where I am doing four positions in one but being paid less, trying to make ends meet, apartment hunting because the place I moved into less than a year ago has been nothing short of a nightmare, while maintaining a store and trying to keep up with a blog... Oh and to add insult to injury, today I got into a car accident.

I found myself complaining more than usual lately and feeling sorry for myself because how much can one take?
However, I had to take a step back and think after having a discussion with my boyfriend.

What am I doing about it?

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence is a serious situation affecting more than 10 million men and women yearly. Approximately 20 people per minute are physically abused by their partner in the United States. Statistics state that about 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have been victims of domestic violence in their lifetime.

It is my opinion that even if you personally have not been in an abusive relationship, you know someone who has.
