My name is Brandi.
You’re average Middle
American young woman working to etch out her own life. I have my faults, I’ll
be the first to tell you that, but I work hard to overcome them and find
happiness in my life with what I have. I recently went through a break-up from
a bad relationship. I grew-up enough where my ex couldn’t control me any longer
and cut ties. One of my next few posts will go further in depth about that
situation and everything I learned from it.
But now I want to focus on me and what I am doing now!
I am twenty-one and living at home with my mother and
step-father. I am no-where close to where I thought
I’d be back in high school.
I am making progress to get back on track.
I am beginning to have goals and plans again!
I have a job and I am paying my own bills, which right now
are only student loans and phone. It pained me every time I asked my mother or
grandmother for money it keep my phone active.
I am in the process of going back to school, a local
community college to salvage my GPA from my freshman year when I dropped out.
I am an artist and I want to keep that part of my life. I
dream of having my work hang in a gallery.
I enjoy writing, I want to be published!
I want to take a solo trip to Ireland!
I’m getting a tattoo! It’s a beautiful Celtic-knot shamrock
with the phrase “Tada gan iarracht”, which is Gaelic for “Nothing without
effort.” I feel that sums up my life philosophy.
I am reconnecting with friends I had from high school and
college and I am working at making new friends.
This all seems pretty random and lacking any continuity, and
for that I apologize. I promise that my future posts will have more structure.
This is just meant to be an introduction to give everyone an
idea of where I am right now. My next few posts will be brief histories to help
you readers, know me and how I’ve gotten to be myself, now.
I really hope that sharing my thoughts and experiences will
make me a stronger person and remind me of everything I have to look forward
to.
BSM
