I do a lot of random thinking while I drive around this country.
My most recent, excellent, thought is as follows…
So, your parents raise you until you graduate college and then in your 20s, 22 for me, you being raising yourself.
And the hardest part of raising yourself is this:
Your parents will always be proud of you (for the most part) because if you do your best they don’t see the really, really, really stupid things you do. But see, now as we are raising ourselves, for the first time, as 20 somethings, we have to build up our confidence daily while knowing all the dumb stuff we have done.
It’s tough work!
My book idea…
“How I raised myself, in my 20s”
Yea so the title needs some a lot of work! But after discussing my idea with a fellow 20 something last night, she laughed…and fully agreed with my concept.
We created a few chapters (the numbers are not important!! I have some gaps in to fill in!):
Chapter 19: Travel for a year
Chapter 23: Single at 22
OK, so we only came up with 2 and my brain is fried after my workout today but I am sure through this very blog I will be adding fabulous idea, after idea on how to raise yourself in your 20s.
For all my people out there; How did/do you raise yourself?
Coming from me, this won’t hold a lot of water BUT…try not to think about it all too much. Go easy. If, in fact, we do raise ourselves in our 20’s then I am sure you’ll do a fantastic job. It’s in your nature to succeed!
