I’d like to start off my blog as an introduction of who I am and why I am here. My name is Cynthia, last name is not so important. I wanted to start a blog for personal reasons. Like literally personal reasons, just for myself. I have tried physically writing, and I just never get around to it, or when I have the time no thoughts come. I suppose those personal journals can be for my deeper thoughts.
Anyway, more about myself. I won’t mention my actual age, just know I’m in my late 20s, and I am still trying to wrap my head around that. Not entirely sure when that happened and looking back in my memories there are so many gaps that are missing. Sometimes I feel like I just woke up from a coma and the last few years of my life have been wasted away with sleep. However, in reality my body was just on autopilot and not until the last two years or so is when I woke up.
Within the last two years or so, I’ve changed jobs twice. Which is not much compared to most; but it is more than I thought I would have ever had in my life. At one point I thought I would be stuck at my retail job, working at a movie theater is considered retail, right? Had been there straight out of high school, and it was good for the time being. Then I kept moving up and getting more money that I sort of lost my way to what I wanted to do. In reality, I still don’t know what I want to do. I just know now that I don’t want to be in retail anymore.
I transitioned from a retail job to an office job and then now at another office job. Not only that, but I am an intern at this office job. I hate it, the word intern, or maybe just being called an intern when I used to be a manager. I hate to even compare the two because I was in a completely different field than where I am now. I think it’s just the fact that I had to start over and from the beginning. Like looking around and wondering, am I too old to be here, as an intern?
This thought made me wonder what else I am too old to do? I enjoy attending festivals, am I getting too old for that? I enjoy watching animated shows like Bob’s Burger, Family Guy, and South Park, not much of a kid show but at my age should I still be enjoying these shows? Keeping up with social media and what the “kids” are saying has never been an issue. I believe I am pretty aware of what is going on and what the hip lingo is, but at what age does that stop? Or am I just subconsciously trying to keep up to not age myself any more than I already am.
I am creating this blog to share some experiences that I have had as a woman in her late 20s trying to live a young lifestyle I was never able to experience. Better late than never right?
