Honestly, February was just way too short! Its not that I forgot to write, its just that I haven't really felt inspired. Truth be told, I've been really stressed. My hours at work have been cut and most of my time has been spent applying for jobs and trying to make a way. I find it  hard to dedicate any time to the things that I love when my financial situation is less than desirable.

I didn't want to stay away too long though so I thought I'd offer an update post.

February was a short but eventful month, wasn't it? 

Black History Month was so lit! It is such a fine time to be black! 

We got in formation with Beyonce, watched Kendrick kill at the Grammys and even Leo DiCaprio finally got his damn Oscar!(i know he isn't black but they snubbed him so many damn times I was starting to think he was)

On a more personal note,

I'm about a month into my internship, I am at a gym in the Hyde Park area and I absolutely love it!I love the owner, the trainers, and the environment. I'm learning so much about the business and just health and fitness in general!That knowledge is definitely coming in handy seeing as though I'm still working on my weight loss. I should have a in depth and detailed update on that soon but all I will say is that  my eating behaviors have definitely improved but  its definitely a day to day process and I still have a long way to go!

As far as the job search, I have interviewed with a few companies and have been offered a position, which I have accepted. While I'm very grateful, I'm still being considered for a higher paying position so I'm just praying and staying hopeful!

My short term goals are to secure a higher paying job ( which I have done but I'm still praying on that.) 

I plan to move out of my mother's house by May. I'm looking to rent a home with my cousin Surah and my good friend P (if you've read my previous posts then you would know her as Tee.) Its already March and May is fast approaching. So I've been working hard these past few months to secure a job that allows for me to afford the move and the stay. Its time for me to grow up and leave the nest for good. I've moved out once before and had to come back, its time to grow up and stay up!

My love life hasn't really been a factor;  there's nothing too serious going on in that department. Since January, I've gone on a few dates with one guy, though (I'll refer to him as 21) and he's great company. Even as a single girl I had a very nice Valentine's Day. 21 and I went on a casual date to dinner and a movie. I've been very honest with him about where I am when it comes to dating and relationships and he's been so cool and understanding, I'm really enjoying his company and just having fun. Once I'm more financially stable and independent I'm sure I'll be actively dating but for now I'm keeping a low profile.

February has really just been a month of planning, thinking and strategizing. Thinking about all I want and need to do while trying to remain patient, humble and positive. The fact that March is here already shows that time waits for no woman! So now its time for action and execution!  I'm coming for everything I deserve this year and I'm so ready!

Stay Tuned,

I'm sure I'll write!
