Monica's Obsession                 Monica's Story

 

Monica DuPea's Bio

 

I was born and raised in Hawthorne, Nevada.  From an early age, I remember having very passionate discussions over frustrations about the shortcomings of parents and the school, upset that I and others weren’t more prepared for all the responsibility that was coming our way. I mean, I was still raising my hand in class to use the bathroom, and very soon I was expected to navigate the world on my own.

 

I self reflected, a lot. I thought about how inadequacy felt and how I could change it. I thought about empowerment and how to get it. I was curious to know why this and why that. I questioned authority, systems, beliefs, customs, human responses, right and wrong, who decides whose right and wrong, why them. And, in the end, I just wanted a consistent sensible compass of sorts to guide my own decision making that would lead me to creating a good life.

 

With all the contradictions and distraction going on around my young mind, it was hard to do what was good and right for me. So, I was compelled to figure out my route to stability, peace and a rich and fulfilling life. I found myself gravitating towards organized and intentional people. I want the girls to experience what I have. I know how hard I’ve worked, how consistent I’ve had to be, and what I sacrificed to prove a transparency and credibility that opened the door to my most impactful relationships and opportunities.

 

By growing my circle of healthy, resourceful, reciprocating friends, I was able to experience achieving that compass, and as a result, have lots of wonderful safe relationships with people who can show and receive affection at the same level as me, or maybe its reversed ;) But, please don't assume that my life has been continuous awards and victories, or on the other hand, struggles, failures, and agony. Probably like yours, it has been an inevitable and incredible combination of both. I've always lived my passion but in a straight and narrow life style.  I've always put my heart and soul into everything I have done. And although it hasn't always worked out in my favor, I have few regrets.
