when you’re 25

You’re lost, confused, frustrated, scared, anxious, impatient, uncertain, unfulfilled, annoyed, determined, lazy, adventurous, excited, carefree, spontaneous, energetic, hungry & drunk. 

There’s no way else to describe it. One minute you feel like you have no idea what you want to do in life, the next; you’re working on starting your own business. One minute you feel so alone, the next; your face hurts from laughing with your friends.  One minute your dreams and goals are so clear and you feel like you’re on the right path, the next; you’re lost questioning who you even are and want to be. Every weekend goes by too fast because half the time you’re at the bar, half the time you’re hungover.

This year has been so important. Instead of living unconsciously people finally woke up. The status-quo was shaken and stirred and people couldn’t just fall into their routine. It’s amazing how being forced to take time to think about your life helps you make the most changes. 

It was a very important year in my professional and personal life. From Reporting in Buffalo to Marketing in Boston → switching careers was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. I was ready to come home and I wanted to start something on my own. I was toying with the idea for a long time and if it wasn’t for the pandemic, I would have never been able to take the time to think about the decision and be 100% confident in it. 

My whole life I have been so focused on creating my career that I thought I wanted. I was on a train that wasn’t stopping until I made it. But then when life stops, you are able to question your dreams, and think… is this REALLY what I want? 

It wasn’t. Am I sure of what I want?… absolutely not. But I know everything happens for a reason and I’m proud of myself for realizing I was ready for a change. Letting fear be your guide is the most rewarding thing you can do. All the self-doubt, limitations, and my dwindling confidence stops right now.

I am using my energy to create a successful passion. I love hearing people’s stories. I love helping people. I love being creative. I love shooting & editing videos. I love my family & friends. 

When you’re 25 you’re a whole lot of things. You experience so many emotions. You make a few important decisions. You figure out your next move no matter how chaotic and stressed you are. 

So now I am ready to share my next adventure…
