*throws shades on* It’s #PositiveMonday ya’ll! One of my childhood has started a movement that’s centered around remaining positive just like Positive Mondays were intended to do. He married his high school sweetheart last year and they have a daughter together, so right around the time of the wedding he started posting the same thing almost every day… “Things are coming together”. I thought this was the cutest thing, because I’ve never seen a man so in love with his woman and his family where he broadcasts how happy they are publicly. Pretty soon it started catching on with everyone, and he challenged people to change their own statuses to this as well.
After seeing how influential this small statement had become amongst my Facebok friends, it made me put my own life into perspective and really think about how my life has come together in these past few years. First of all, having the statistic over my head of being a teenage mother was something that took me years to overcome. I felt like I was looked down upon by everyone, and even if I wasn’t it was something that I had to get over in myself. I can’t say that I was proud of myself for letting everyone down, but I did what I had to do to make sure it didn’t happen again. Not only that, but I was previously in a very unhealthy relationship that took just about everything I had out of me. Getting back to me after that was a long process that I thought I would never complete.
However, now at 24 years old things are a lot different for me. I do believe I can say that I’m an independent young woman and I’m proud of that. I’ve had so many people ask me if I wish I had gone off to school instead of having my son, and I get so offended. If I hadn’t taken this path in life, who’s to say where I would be? All I know is that right now I am currently in college full time, working two jobs, and raising my son. I live in my own apartment and was just recently blessed enough to get myself a new car, and I’ve done this all on my own with the grace of God… So no I wouldn’t trade a thing.
Recently I’ve been feeling even more fulfilled by blogging than ever before. After months of being off with my writing, it feels good to be back posting regularly. I also have an upcoming social in March for teenage girls in my area which makes me feel like I have a voice that will be able to help others. I can’t say that I would have chosen this path had my circumstances not played out like they had. I feel like I’m somewhat fulfilling my destiny in the world, but still feel like I have so far to go. That’s a really good feeling to have and it definitely feels like “things are coming together” 
I hope everyone has a #PositiveMonday and don’t let anyone or any circumstances steal your joy today! SN: I bet Chris and Rih feel like things are coming together! I hope they’re truly happy!!
XOXO,
