The Bentleys: Older AND Wiser!

So now that I had a pity party for my last two posts, maybe I should fill you in on my lease on life...

I kind of pictured my 22nd birthday as a sad reminder of how single I am. I expected that once the clock chimed midnight on 6/18/2011 I would suddenly feel like the sad lonely woman who lives down the street.

I didn't feel like that at all! Once I knew it was officially my birthday I felt a sense of calmness and I know this sounds cheesy but I felt happier to be in my situation and wiser about life in general. I know, how silly does that sound?

I have come to realize that while I didn't care if my birthday was a big deal or not but the people around me sure love me enough to make it special. I did get a little moody but hell it was my birthday right? I just needed a small break from people for an hour or so. So many people made my day awesome!

When I stop and think about that day I noticed that I focus on me a lot! Most days for me are spent doing or thinking what could make me happy and when I do something for someone else is when I am truly happy.

I do however find myself doing what other people want often, which is different in a sense that they may think its what I want when in fact it isn't. Kind of an interesting conundrum. I just hate disappointing people or making them angry but it is my life... not theirs.

On the bright side I found a new website to waste time on... its pinterest.com and basically its tons of pictures and you and pin them to your own boards for things like food, style, home ideas. It has everything and I loved making collages when I was younger ;) same idea.

So the first block of summer classes is done!! Only two more classes left before I get my degree and can take my boards!! So nervous! Seven weeks is all I have left of school :S hopefully I can make it!

by the way have you watched the voice? on NBC... seriously favorite show right now! This boy makes me melt...
