Sell out!

So. I guess I am a typical sell out. I always said I would never start a blog...but clearly, this is not the case.

I suppose the idea of writing about myself, my life, and my escapades always was secretly appealing to me. Let's be honest, I am as narcissistic as the rest of the masses. I am the center of my own universe. Perhaps, someday, if I ever fulfill my dreams of growing up, getting married, and starting a family...my world will gradually shift to the needs of my husband, the lives of my children, and perhaps feeding the dog.

But for now...I will revel in my studio apartment, taking in Chicago's gorgeous skyline, and wonder how I got so lucky as to end up here. I have a great job, the best friends that I will ever have, and no one to answer to...nothing to be tied to. My parents affectionately refer to my lifestyle now as the middle-class-single-transient...and even though the term "transient" generally refers to the residentially challenged...I will let them get away with it for now. Because it's partially true. And because it's damn good to be free.

Really, this is what I worked for growing up. I wanted to decide things in my own life, leave the house at 2 am to "go out", sing in the shower, and be a bleeding heart liberal if that's what I wanted to do. Not that I didn;t have these unalienable rights as a youth (yeah right...like I was leaving the house after 11 pm)...but I have always been of the mindset, it's better to be completely independent, then risk your happiness doing what others want you to do.
