Hey there, Winney’s and Winettes! I can’t believe that it’s already been one week since launch date! Thank you so much to everyone that has subscribed, shared post, gave me feedback, and left comments!!! I am so overwhelmed by the love and support that you guys show, and believe me it does not go unnoticed! Continue to share with your family and friends and be sure to stay on the lookout for upcoming post and news!! There were so many topics that I wanted to touch on this first week, but I decided to talk about something that I think so many people (not just women) are guilty of. I know I find myself always saying “I’m grown! I pay bills! I’m in college” anytime someone has me messed up, and needs to be reminded WHO and WHOSE I am! LOL! (I’m just being real) But these last few weeks, I’ve had to check myself… I mean get myself all the way together, and it’s crazy because I’ve seen this post floating around between Facebook and Instagram “I’m not a GROWN woman, I’m a GROWING woman.” Girrrrrrrrllllllllll (or maaannnn), I looked at it and my whole face dropped… boop! Get me together than, internet! There is so much truth behind that statement, which made me check myself. Like since when did paying bills, working a job, going to school, and balancing family make me a grown woman? What in society made me say, “Yup, I’m 22 now so I’m grown… I have it all figured out!” *Reality check* I don’t have a damn thing figured out in my life, I barely know what I’m going to eat in the next few hours, let alone what I’m going to be doing in the next few months. There is so much more to life than the things that we encounter and do on a daily basis that comes with being grown. Yes, legally speaking, at age 18 we are adults and at 21 we can legally buy/drink alcohol but we’re not completely grown yet. At 21, I thought that I had everything figured out…. I knew my career path, where I wanted to move, who I was going to marry/have children with, what my income was going to be… and by 22 all that had changed! Life seriously slapped me around, and I had no choice but to sit there and learn from everything that had transpired. I think one of the biggest misconceptions is that after high school, when you turn 18, you have to have everything together! It’s almost like society says that if you don’t know what you’re going to do with your life then you’re basically a failure… and I TOTALLY DISAGREE! No one ever has it all together! I see 40 year olds (men and women) with multiple kids, a house, car, all that and they STILL don’t have their sh*t together! So why should I, at 22-years old, feel like I should have things together/know everything? Listen, life is about making mistakes, learning from them, and most importantly GROWING FROM THEM! Everyday, we are constantly growing as young women (and men) creating our own path and agenda. If there was one piece of advise that I could give, it would be to NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’RE INFERIOR OR NOT ON THE RIGHT PATH because you don’t have your life figured out. I want to hear from you guys though… what’s one misconception that you’ve identified as a young adult? What’s the one thing you hate that people say/ask you about based on your age? Do you think that maturity plays a factor into your growth? What's one piece of advise that you would give to your younger self? Leave your answers in the comment section and remember you can remain anonymous! Remember, in wine there's truth!
