Now before you get angry from reading this headline, let's clear up some facts. I turned 21 years old this year, got engaged to my wonderful fiance and yes I am completely independent.

I have been in this relationship for two and a half years at this point and nothing has changed my mindset of being independent. Since the day we started dating I had a job, and within the past year I have held up two jobs, yes at the same time.

Not only do I have two jobs but I also go to school full time. You're probably thinking that I am crazy at this point right?

Let me break it down for you all.

When my fiance and I first started dating he said to me "Do not ever listen to anybody who says you do not need a job."

This is something that has stuck in my head because ever since we got into a relationship I had a lot of different people telling me that I no longer needed a job because I have a male to support me. I shut that down real quick, just because I am in a relationship does not mean that I need to change my mindset.

When we were driving around one day the song "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo started to play and he looked at me and said, "This is my song for you." He said that because he knows that no matter what happens in my life, I will never ask for help.

Very rarely do I ever ask for help when it comes to something that I know I can do by myself.

The reason why I am saying all of this is because I absolutely hate when I see females posting on social media saying that they need a guy to support them or they need a guy to buy them this or that. I am the type of person that I will work for everything I need or want in my life.

Do not let a guy stop you from reaching your full potential. Be independent and be yourself.
