figuring out LIFE WOW
Hey everyone! I recently moved to Georgia and I’m at a point in my life where I really want to start doing better for myself and becoming more independent.
I’m around the Kennesaw area, and honestly, I don’t want to just work a random job, come home, and repeat the same thing every day. I want to build skills, meet people, make connections, stay mentally active, and actually become a better version of myself.
I’m looking for things like:
-Free or affordable workshops/classes
-Creative projects or community projects I can participate in
-Networking events for people who are trying to grow
-Volunteer opportunities
-Career or financial workshops
-Ways to learn new skills that could eventually make me more money
-Entrepreneurship/business opportunities
-Art, technology, writing, photography, or other creative communities
-Fitness or activities that keep me active
-Programs for young adults who are trying to get their life together
Anything around Kennesaw, Marietta, Smyrna, or Atlanta that could help me grow
My bigger goal is to work, save money, eventually get a car, pay for my own things, build a career, and become financially independent. I also want to be able to contribute more to my relationship and take care of my girlfriend sometimes—not because I feel like I have to prove anything, but because I want to be in a position where I can.
I’m also trying to become my own person. I want to have things that are mine: my own skills, accomplishments, hobbies, friends, experiences, and goals. I want to feel proud of myself and happy with who I’m becoming.
I’m not expecting someone to hand me an opportunity. I’m willing to show up, learn, work, volunteer, network, and start from the bottom. I just honestly don’t know everything that’s available around here yet.
So if you live around, what are some opportunities, organizations, events, workshops, communities, or resources that you would recommend to someone in my position?
Even if it’s something small that helped YOU get out of a rut or start building your life, I’d love to hear about it.
I’m basically trying to turn this move into a fresh start and actually do something with it
THANK YOU !!!
