Wanted: A role model

I would love to have the opportunity of attending a Focus Group Discussion lead by Michelle Obama. Not to talk about the nation, the world, the economy but to talk about just life and it's learning lessons.

I saw this from my pinterest account today and it took me a while to really learn this.

You know they say you will know who your true friends are by the time you are thirty, I pretty much weeded  some negative people in my life and it felt right. No regrets, more of a huge wave of relief.  The ones that I have kept were actually worth keeping, and the relationship just felt so light, like letting your hair down while sipping a warm cup of hot chocolate. You get that warm fuzzy feel inside when you see them. It felt like home.

Last night, out of nowhere, I got asked why am I still single and that I should lower my standards. Not that they're high, I was told I might be picky. I've avoided that question a hundred times I never learn nor found a way for a good comeback. I just haven't found someone who felt like home. And I don't expect everyone to really understand what it meant so why bother explaining?

Recently I had some realizations [that is not proper to blog about]. Last night I stayed up til late night talking to a good friend and realized how much I've grown. I've made mistakes and I learned from them really well that I felt like my values were re-aligned and just because I have been through some not so great things in the  past, it doesn't necessarily mean I approve of things because I might understand just because I've been there. I'm not saying I'm not going to make mistakes anymore, I surely will but it also means that I will watch myself and my life diligently. I've pretty much lived a dangerous life in my early twenties but we all have to mature at some point.

I'd really love to find a book by Michelle Obama. I would love to hear/read about her life's lessons. I've always been fascinated by empowered women with life lessons. I am still in search for my role model, but for the meantime, I have a bunch of real-life models for "DON'T".
