No, it is not my 18th birthday. But today is the day that I now accept total, complete, and 100% responsibility for my life. Everything I am, and everything I will become will be 99.9% result of my actions or inactions.
I don't like relying on someone else other than myself.
The law dictates that I become an adult at 18, but today is my first day of adulthood, regardless of what the law says.
From here on out, my life is in my hands. Society and my peers will not dictate who I am (although I will find like-minded positive friends..and dump the losers I deal with now), only I can determine what I make of my life. I will no longer complain.
-I no longer watch tv or play video games...ever... I have too much I need to accomplish with my one life.
-I'm rarely on the computer anymore, for the same reason.
-I no longer read for the sake of reading. I read to learn, and I read to put into action.
I must now look for a job. I do not care what, I simply need to build my funds. Does someone have a good ressource on drafting a proper resume? I don't have much work experience (more like none), but I don't even care if I work at Mcdonald's...I simply need the money for my future.
Next is a budget. I need to figure out how much a bare minimum lifestyle is going to cost me.
I will work as many hours as I possibly can whenever I can.
I will read and read and read voraciously and continue to expand my knowledge
I will also put aside some time each day for schoolwork completion and school study, but this is not a priority of mine at this time in my life.
I am selling all my items that I don't need in order to secure more living funds for the near future.
I am no longer buying anything.. every penny I earn is one step closer to independence.
