security or leap of faith
I would love to know which is more important, having security or taking a leap of faith and putting yourself out there? It is very hard to make that decision to step out on your own.
I know that young ladies now have been taught to be an inpedendant woman because most guys out there are only looking out for #1--themselves. The Prince Charming fantasy goes right out of the window. True, I would love to do some things on own but I know that sometimes that is not possible so I say if you have someone that is willing to do nice things for you, there is nothing wrong with putting your pride aside and letting that person take over--in the pampering aspect.
I want to get out of the sticks so desperately that I would take any road in front of me. At this point it is about being happy. I have a man who is helping me move up north so we can be together. This whole move is not over a man, lets get that straight. It is more about independence. I love him very much and he just happens to be in the location that I want to be, and lets face there aren't many jobs in the sticks. I have all of these certificates being wasted on minimum wage jobs when I could be getting the experience I need up north. I would love to be an independent woman but I know that living in the city can be hard if you don't have that hustler mentality. You also need plenty of talent to get you to the top. Although I have talent, I think I need that hustler mentality. I think its something I'll be able to attain once I move out on my own. I know that it is somewhere deep inside me.
As for security and leap of faith, sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to get where you want to be. If I had it my way, I would have my car paid off and enough money saved so I can move into my own cozy apartment. But life never works the way you plan. You can only work it out the best way you can. Security is very important to me though, and that is what my boyfriend, who lives in the city, believes he can supply me with. I say, why not? We plan on marrying each other and he is very happy with me and I love him so I think this will definitely bring our relationship to that next level and also give me that security that I desire.
