Not Your Average 20 Year Old

Alright lets just get it out there, I am most definitely not your average twenty year old. And I really don’ mind. I think everyone lives their twenties differently but here is my story.. so far.

The average person my age will tell you they are going out with friends, going to a party or social event or they are simply “finding themselves” and so forth. I on the other hand don’t take part on the typical things a young person my age would do. I don’t have a large circle of friends. It’s me, my family, like one friend (maybe) and many acquaintances. I don’t really mind, I have learned that it is better to be alone than in bad company. And I live by that. So with that being said, I really don’t get out much. If I do you will typically find me with my family and I have no shame in that. I rather be with people I know will love and care for me than people who will be in my life only temporarily. Temporary people aren’t a bad thing but they won’t stick around for long. Family on the other hand will be the people you and can be a shoulder to lean on no matter what. I want to share my memories and happy moments with those who are in it for the long run. So I have learned to be careful with those who are only in my life temporarily.

Although my circle is not big I love getting to know new people. I desire friendship and I know the right people will come into my life at the right time. I don’t force friendships because why would I force people to be my friend? In friendships I will be there for you no matter what, so idk but y’all missing out on some pretty good friendship qualities over here.

My college life is not something I would change. I know that I am living in this world but not of it. I don’t want to conform into things that will not benefit me in the long run. I go to class and study and what not but you won’t see me getting involved. I really don’t mind and I know I won’t regret it either. I know others are super involved and doing everything possible to live it up during their college years and hey that’s awesome! But that is so not my scene. I think it’s great that people do such things and it makes them happy. But for me, I honestly rather come home lol. It’s not that I don’t think I can fit in but I rather go to a Wednesday night bible study and let the word of God be a reflection in my life then joining a plant club. Just saying….

I’m a christian gal living a modern everyday life. I don’t want to come across as a crazy religious person but if you just knew what God can do in your life you will understand. God has blessed me with the opportunity to know him and find myself through him. I don’t need to go on a Spring Break trip to Mexico to “find myself”. I can simply open the word and know that Gods got this and I don’t need to worry. Sure I go on trips and vacations but I don’t go crazy guys. I don’t regret choosing to attend church on Saturday nights instead of a night out drinking or going to clubs and frat parties. Or staying in and baking to my hearts content on Friday nights while people on my Snapchat stories are drinking it up. Whatever you decide to do is up to you. But this gal rather make a cake then wake up hung over the next day. This definitely doesn’t mean I will never take part in any activities, I am human, but I wont change who I am for it. There is nothing wrong with going to a party or a night out with friends, just don’t lose sight of who you are and what makes you well you. No night out is worth losing sight of who you really are.

Your twenties are whatever you decide to make them. If you choose to live them “finding yourself” with parties and endless nights out well that is up to you. I am not your average twenty year old but I wouldn’t change who I am one bit. God made me unique and I am so glad he has allowed for me to know my worth. My self worth doesn’t come from people, past friendships, relationships or what club or event I am involved in. I know I may sound boring, or maybe you think this girl is crazy but that is me. Sure I am little crazy, we all are, but I am totally happy with who I am and wouldn’t trade my life or who I am for anything.
