Back to the Basics

     I have deleted a lot of my postings from my blog. No worries, friends, they're all saved somewhere else. It's not that I want to erase these memories from my life, I couldn't if I tried. I just feel, for now, it's time for Helen Patterson to get back to the basics. I have moved back to Charleston, SC to be close to family and start saving some money and go back to FINISH school. I want it over with. I have certainly had my fun and divulged in the glamorous distractions that can attract a 22 year old such as myself. This time in my life was not a waste, it was with so many lessons that just wouldn't have sunk in to my hard head any other way. I experienced things that have allowed my curious soul to finally rest. I'm ready now for the next level. I'm ready to not only be independent, but I'm ready to be financially stable. I'm ready to start making investments, not just splurging on immediate satisfaction. Awwww, how cute....Helen's growing up! Anyways, this is a struggle for my impatient and impulsive spirit. I have by no means perfected this lifestyle and it is still completely new to me. However, I stand by my earlier comment....I'm ready. It's a day by day, step by step process. Wish me luck and I will keep you updated!
