The Beginning of the Beginning

Life is complicated.  Do you ever remember hearing that when you were a kid but not really understanding what it meant?  Or wondering why all of the adults were so stupid.  I mean, come on!  They had the power to change things!  Our parents had the ability to make a decision and change all of the bad things that made life so complicated.  Life could have been so simple if only they had made it that way!

Life is complicated.  I am 23 years old and in many ways I am still a child.  But in many ways I am much, much older than 23.  I have responsibilities that most 30 year olds don't have yet.  But I started life early and never got to learn and grow and be young.  So when I decided to take my girls and move from Virginia to Phoenix, Arizona I think that I made my first adult decision to make life as uncomplicated as I can.  I have a long way to go still, but I think I am well on my way.  So after a week and a half of an uncomplicated life, I have changed my outlook on life, and my hair.  Yes.  I know that sounds silly.  But it felt really nice to give myself something.  Until next time...
