These days, I try to avoid sharing some of my major plans with people. More like I no longer tell people what I'm up to anymore. This includes family. In my country, we have this idea that a lot of people would want your downfall and all that, but that's barely the reason for my withdrawal. I really don't want people in my business anymore. That seems off but, I've found peace with it.

I have these old friends who just call once in a long while to catch up on our activities and give advice on what to do next. For a while, I looked forward to these conversations but recently, it feels like one of those conversations I shouldn't have.

Then again, it also feels like I have no plans. I have my goal, but the steps to take in getting there aren't just clear to me. I find myself just crowding every day with seemingly meaningful activities that I hope make sense in the near future.

I got a concerned call from my mom today. I haven't gotten that in a long while. She usually can't entirely pry into the lives of my brothers, so she comes through me to know what's new with them.

Normally, I just tell her to mind her business and know that everything is fine. But today, I decided to be open with her a little about my finances.

I currently don't have any financial issues. This at least keeps me sane. I have no debts, not needs and no deadline on my neck. It's an awesome feeling. However, I have an issue with settling.

I finally opened up to my mom about my Hive activities a bit. She knows I've been a bit slow in my bulk gig earnings, but she also knows I earn a little from somewhere else.

I try extra hard to not spend my earnings from Hive and Leofinance even though they may sometimes be the only earnings I have for weeks.

I told her about a plan I have for the next few months and rather than her usual talk about supporting me financially, she said "you have to do it yourself".

At the end of our talk, my mom reminded me that I'm an adult now. As if I don't know that already.

As far as my other friends are concerned, I am unemployed, living off my parents like a Disney Princess.

I gave that impression and I'm maintaining it. Not many people know or understand why I'm taking French classes. And I don't see myself explaining it to them because I have no idea what I'm doing as well.

I guess I'm finally experiencing life as a confused adult who's happy with the turns her life takes.
