It’s my birthday! It’s something I get stupidly excited about every year and each year it becomes increasingly important for me to celebrate. Not an all out shindig. I’m sorta over those, but a time to reflect on the past year (it’s been a doozie)and embrace the next chapter in the book of life.
If you asked me 10 years ago where I thought I would be in my life, I would have said married with three kids and a dog. Of course, my career would be on point and I would be working in a top ten television market. I would have never said here. Not this space. I’m single ( got a boo though, not married), no kids and no dog. My career is still a work in progress. I’m constantly learning and consistently challenged.
So no, I’m not where I thought I would be as a 23-year-old who was two months away from completing graduate school.But I’m just as happy as I thought those things could bring me.
More importantly, I’m happy with who I’ve matured to be. I’m more confident in myself and my decisions than I’ve ever been. I’m definitely more understanding, forgiving, compassionate, and patient. I love the growth I see in myself. My mind is clear, and my soul is settled. It took me a while to get to place where I’m confident, full of self-love and I finally removed so much self-doubt.
While I’ve grown, some things remain the same. I still have a zero tolerance for bull crap. I love food, fashion , and football. Laughter will forever fuel my heart.
Cheers to me as I celebrate this next chapter of life with plenty of laughs, memorable moments, and with as little stress as possible.
