Know Yourself

A lot has happened for me this year.

• Was in my first semi-serious relationship.
• Got my first full-time job.
• Bought my first car.
• Started a FI blog
• Got my first “real job”.
• Dot dumped from first serious boyfriend.
• Received promotions at real job.
• Got denied by first real connection with a new guy.

In between all of this, I've had some time to really think about who I am and what I want.

Mostly this relates to men. I'm sure that's the juicy and most interesting part, but maybe not the best to share here. In terms of my life path though and where I want to go, I feel more confident and in tune than ever right now.  

I should have learned by now that just going through life and getting lucked into this definitely happens for the best, but shouldn’t be counted upon. I really did get lucky that I found a job with a company that supports me. It was a referral from a girl I knew in high school that worked out so well that I've moved up and gotten myself in a place to be there for 5+ years of if I continue to do well. I also got lucky that my family is so supportive and loves me so much. Being an awesome daughter probably helps, but it all is because of them.

Again I listen to the radio way too much as a commuter, but there is an iHeartRadio commercial from Ariana Grande talking about how she was working hard on music while simultaneously waiting for the right opportunity. I feel like that's what is going on for me right now in my life. I'm working hard on my FI goals, building meaningful relationships, and focusing on what matters most to me. I’m just working and waiting for that right moment.
