Angry






Am I the only one who's angry at this damn economy?
Am I the only one who feels lost?
Uncertainties have a way of chewing away your dreams.

A private school college degree.
A great resume for a 24 year old.
And still yet unemployed.

Thousands of dollars in debt.
Living at home.
Not enough space to feel at ease.

I feel like I'm mentally bugging out and I'm trying really hard to stop it. I'm the inspirational voice for many, the one who motivates peers to dream big and move forward. Slumps are just slumps. But today I am angry at this economy. And the fact that it makes me feel less capable because instead of being out there doing something useful for my community and self growth I am at home sending my resume. Massive amounts of times.

Excuse my anger, or perhaps it's just frustration.

I'm not a surfer, but I'm learning to ride this wave.

20 Years




20 years of sisterhood
20 years of women beginning a process
20 years of women excelling in life
20 years of friendships that have grown into more than just
chapter meetings & programs
20 years of stories & support

To think that 20 years ago 13 women dared to DREAM BIG
and 20 years later their dream continues to build with each new member.
I'm sure my founding mothers did not think this far ahead,
but then again who would have.

I'm proud to be a SIA and to have earned my letters.
Even though I'm not involved as much as I was four years ago,
I am still very aware of the fact that I joined

The Best Hermandad


So to my sisters I say: S.U.E.I.

Since September 1990

Sometimes...

Sometimes I let slumps get to me. Things can't always have a high... what goes up must come down. I like to remember and be conscious of moments like this so that when I do succeed I can appreciate the things i have even more.

Today the sunshine reminded me that I have to be proactive about my happiness. After all I'm only 24, and I believe I just began to live.

turns

so many ups and downs and crossings and forks on the road.

wtf am I going to do with my life?

Hmmm. No final answer.
