The Map That Leads to Your Dreams

Growing up I constantly purchased magazines, mostly Seventeen and Teen Vogue. I became obsessed with fashion and dreamed of attending fashion shows around the world. Rubbing elbows with the fashion industry elites.

I still have these dreams, but as I grew up those dreams became slightly tweaked. The path that I mapped out is not being followed and I have felt like giving up. I'm here to tell you... DO NOT GIVE UP. My husband is my #1 fan and can really get my butt moving when I want to give up.

Every time a fashion week comes around I question by decisions that got me where I am today.

- Should I have attended Kutztown to make my mother happy?

- Why didn't I transfer from Kutztown second semester freshmen year to pursue my desired major?

- Why didn't I transfer second semester sophomore year, instead of going into a major I was questionable about?

I'll tell you why. I loved Kutztown too much to leave. I made friends and knew that I would miss them dearly, but I look back and am thankful. Thankful that I stayed there and dated my now husband second semester. I always found more excuses to stay at Kutztown versus transferring. 

For two years after I graduated Kutztown, I worked in the social work field. I found it extremely rewarding, but I knew I would never be satisfied due to not following my  dreams. 

My husband and I made an agreement. We agreed to never live our lives as people who "wished they had." 

Now, I'm back in retail and I am interning for a swimwear designer. Interning. For a swimwear designer. In Los Angeles.

It took six years to get to this point, but I am extremely thankful. Thank you to all my readers for your continuing support.
