Since graduating college I’ve been stuck in quarter-life crisis hell with a few of small victories in-between. I write this post not with the intent to complain, but to simply state the facts. This middle ground has not been a fun ride but for all it’s worth it has been the most phenomenal experience of my life.
I learned how to run when I was at my weakest, operate through the pain and even wrestle with God when he was straight smacking me in my face. Somewhere, somehow, someday all of this is going to make sense.
Every challenge, every no, every wrong turn, effed up relationship, mogul dream and world domination desire is going to mesh together into this grand puzzle I’ve been piecing together. At least I hope so.
As I wait for my refinement process to lead me into the next phase, I’ll continue to dodge Sallie Mae phone calls, work hard on living my purpose and pursuing those things which were written.
Dear life: Thank you for moments of prayer, good friends that love you as you are, organic chocolate almond milk, a dog named Mango and daily awakening to this experience.

At just 23, I’m in this exact same space!! I try so hard to continually speak life to my present situation and remember that this phase is part of the process to becoming the person I’ve always imagined I would be. But there are some days when that light of hope doesn’t shine bright enough. Thanks for this post, it was the encouragement I needed today!
You are very welcome Marsha! We all need little pick me ups and prayer. Each day is new! – OBV

It really will! And that’s what you have to keep telling yourself when your going through periods of discouragement or feeling impatient or uncertain. Everything is coming together even now as we speak. This truth grounds me and give me peace everyday. Well, almost everyday
Thanks for reading GG, and for your encouragement. Life is a daily process and you are right, it is definitely coming together. – OBV
