How come no one told me it was going to be days like this ? How come no one told me that I would feel sad at times because I don't have money or that I wouldn't be able to do everything I want to do when I want to do it ? How come no one said that my parents "really didn't have it all," although I thought that they did. How come no one told me that it would be the hardest learning curve and experience of my life. How come I had to prepare by falling on my face; how come I haven't failed yet.

The one thing that has kept me afloat is my determination. I am determined to get it right (whatever that means), I am determined to take care of myself and my family, I am determined to love and experience the love the earth has to offer and I am determined to have no regrets.
Adulting gives me the opportunity to remember that this is an opportunity for me learn to LIVE.
