When I Grow Up.

So, I know that our economy sucks right now. And I know that not everyone who wants to become famous, or a celebrity achieves that. Everyone knows that. One thing I know I will accomplish is becoming an internationally known fashion designer. And I love my family and friends for supporting me and my aspirations because is by no means is it going to be easy. You always hear how the fashion industry is so cut throat, Im prepared for that, Ive already gotten a taste being at college lol. What I dislike, and the point of this post, is how people are quick to tell me that I need a back-up plan. Or give me that "why the hell does she want to do that" look when they ask what my major is. Would you rather my response be "my major is prostitution, or drug dealing" ? Ever since I was little Ive had in my mind that I could grow up and do anything that I wanted to do. And thats exactly what im doing, what I want to do!! I take advice from people and appreciate it, some I listen to and some I dont but at the end of the day it is my life to live. Its just the biggest problem I have is the lack of respect I get, from people who would much rather I become a doctor or a Pastor or something. I dont like studying all that much which is a reason I decided not to go to med school, but also because I have a 'passion for fashion'. Instead on being so shocked about what I want to do with my life look back on yours, because Im sure a lot of you arent working at a job you LOVE, Im not trying to be disrespectful or a smartass in any way. Its just the way I see it. And for those of you girls (guys too), who are majoring in fashion or anything else out there and dont have anyone who really believes that you can do it, I encourage you to read 'If You Have to Cry Go Outside' by Kelly Cutrone. Its an absolutely amazing book that taught me that even if I didnt have anyone supporting me and my dreams, oh well, one day ill be able to say "I told you so"...my mom always tells me she doesnt care if I was pursuing a degree in scooping poop! As long as I have some kind of goals in life and put my mind to acheiving them and wanting more out of life then she'll be proud of me. And I love her for that! I also hope that in some way my blog can give you that drive to do what you felt you were called to do in life! And even if you dont completely know what you want, try things out to find out what it is, dont just sit and wait for it to come to you, life waits for no one.

In love and style
