Average Jane

What is normal or what is average? I think more often than not I like to think of myself as superwomen or any other tittle of mine with super in front of it.  The truth is the struggles and success I have are experienced by many other women all over the world.

I'm not the first to want true love but to fall the loser, have a bad room mate, dislike her sibling, have best friends, want children or have the career and money to support all my wants and desires.  I guess the most Grown up thing I have done is realize that I'm really am just an average Jane.

Now, for the self help guru out there I know I have talents, assests and many other affirmations that I can find in a book.  Maybe, thats the thing that makes me....me.  Anybody can be a girlfriend, sister, auntie, job seeker or a daugter; however, no one can portray it the way my personality can. 

Truly, I'm a gifted average Jane or Miss. Mae if you will.

Question of the Day:

What does your role as the average Jane look like?

JOB SEEKER

One of my tittles in my life is a Job Seeker. I know many others hold this tittle. I think this th tittle I hate the most right now.

This tittle forces me to think nothing other than the best about myself. Its admitting that I have had 13 jobs in the pasts 10 years and still convincing the new company I will be an asset to their company. Dressing my best but filling so ugly inside. All I can think of is the bills that aren't being paid, the late notices and the independence which is stripped away every day I'm not working.

So with that being said, I am a Job seeker and without this tittle I would not be able to provide for myself. Before every time of being an employee I have always been the job seeker first. Still waiting for that fabulous job and to walk into the tittle of employee.

Question of the Day

What tittle in your life makes you second guess your worth?

Auntie

My most defining role in my life is being a Auntie. I ave a four year old nephew whom I have lived with the majority of his little life. For the first time in my life I don't live with him. We talk often and see each other occasionally.

I have to admit when he is too busy watching the latest Batman or Spiderman. I'm generally told the classic 4 year old response "Hi, Bye". This totally sucks. I love that boy more than words can even describe.

What does it mean to be Miss Mae without the consistent role of Auntie? I do realize that the typical Auntie sees the children on holidays or the occasional outing. Fortunately, this hasn't been the reality of my role as the Auntie.

Even cooking meals for one is just such a strange thing.

Today I'm learning how to be Miss. Mae. Go for walks. Buy the fresh seafood. Take comfort that there is so much more to me than being Auntie. With that being said, I still enjoy this role.

Question of the Day

What role do you play in your life that it would be hard to live without?

The beginning of something great

I'm new to blogging, writing, and following that small voice that encourges to me to dream. I'm a sister, daughter, auntie, an ex girlfriend, a follower, job seeker, and a friend. I long to drop my tittles and just be me. I haven't quite figured it out.

I have made some smart choices; but, a lot of choices I have regreted too. I lose my cellphone, wallet, and my id. I forget to call those I love and continue to be bothered by my enemy's.

This is my spot in the world where I invite other women to set aside there many tittles and realize that we can be good friends or not just the strange women sitting across the room. I encourage you to write and respond about what happens when your favorite song comes on or when you realize how amazing you are.

With that being said, I'm amazing. I have the ability to take care of others, hold a conversation, and cook dinner. How many people can do that? I'm 29 and I still believe that something amazing can come of my life. It is truly never too late to grow up! Thank heaven for that!

To the women who is 65 and attends classes or the women that places dreams on hold for a band new baby......props to us! We are amazing!
