I'm Officially 21

Today is my birthday! My husband and I actually celebrated it on Saturday, but now it's official... I'm 21. Everyone says I should go out drinking and clubbing now, but I don't really want to. I don't really think I'd fit in much at a club since I'm more reserved and keep to myself, and as far as drinking goes, I don't really like the taste of most alcohol. I only ever drank champagne or wine coolers on special occasions. I don't like drinking anything else. In my opinion, doing all of that doesn't really sound like much fun to me at all. I'm happier with the idea of going out shopping, eating out at a nice restaurant, going somewhere where I can run around or do something I've never done before, and simply spending time with my entire family. ^_^ I would even prefer playing video games inside all day over going to a club. :P

I must sound a bit strange for someone in their 20s... ^^; Even most of my friends had been going to clubs and partying ever since they had turned 18. Then again, most of my friends have always been the outgoing type, so maybe that's why they enjoy it so much. Most people say that the best part of going out to a club is dancing and socializing, and I'm not to great at either. xD In fact, I think I'm downright awkward whenever I talk to people or dance. v_v; Maybe I should work on those skills a bit more. :P While I don't want to go clubbing, being able to talk with others comfortably and being able to dance can be pretty useful...

Anyways, I plan on enjoying today in my own way. ^.^ It's not likely that I'll be able to go out today, but there's still a lot of things I can do at home. :3 Off I go~! I hope everyone has a beautiful day!

It's Getting Easier....

Being alone, that is. It's been almost a week since my husband left for Florida, and I've been getting used to being here with no one else around. In a way, I kind of enjoy doing everything at my own pace and only worrying about my own mess to clean up and feeding myself. It's like a little vacation for me! xD Not to say that I don't miss him anymore, because I do, but being able to have time for the things I want to do is great! I really love being able to go out without having to worry about getting back early to start cooking dinner and to be able to greet my husband home from work.

I guess choosing to stay at home turned out to be good for me, in a way. I feel like I've gained some independence. I had never been left alone before, at least not for too long. I've always had someone around that I could depend on if I ever needed something or if I was scared... I found out that that was part of the reason why I was worried about my husband going to Florida without me. I realize now that I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself and don't need to rely on others so much. I needed to find that out, otherwise, I would probably be depending on others my entire life. What kind of life would that be?

Haha, well, look at me, 20 going on 21 and I'm still maturing! I feel like there's still a long way to go for me. I still feel like I have so much to learn about becoming an independent adult and that I'm still like a kid. Well, I'll just take things one step at a time. I guess people weren't kidding when they getting older is rough. o.o
