Year 28

Well today is my Birthday. Year 28 and I just want to thank God for it because day in and day out he takes care of me and protects me. His love is truly everlasting and I'm thankful. I started this thing last year where I would post on my birthday each year just to reflect on life, how far I have come and where I want to be in the next year. I think this is something I want to keep doing and hopefully there are more years to come until the year 100 lol or more if God wills it. I mean I already have my gray hairs coming in which is crazy, but I guess that is the wisdom in me.

So, first thing I want to reflect on is challenging myself. I talked about wanting to be the best version of myself and honestly lately I have felt like it is not here in the United States. I have been visiting a lot of countries and at this point have been to one in every continent and one thing I have realized is how I feel in other countries is different from here. Of course, that is normal for any person visiting a new country they haven't been to but America these days is not it for me. How life is here, the economy, there is just nothing for me here. I always pray to God for direction and his guidance, and I know he will get me to where I need to be.

Another thing is being close to 30 my mom keeps asking me when I will be married and at this point has already found someone, she wants me to marry. Moms will always be moms lol but honestly, I'm just going with the flow. I have met "marriage type" women and ones I see myself being married to but honestly, I'm in no rush. I also need to hold myself accountable on this book I'm writing. I had a lot of momentum built up and was deciding what I wanted to focus on, but I have been in a little rut lately. I have a lot of ideas and topics but the navigation process in bringing it all together is what I'm figuring out.

It's all a process and this is something I'm excited about. I like writing just in general and for the past 4 years I have held myself accountable and made sure I post twice a month on this blog no matter what. I remember a month ago not having a second post on the last day of the month and stopping everything I was doing to make sure I had something just to keep up with the consistency. Discipline is very important, and I honestly don't promote this blog at all and only a select few people know about it but the space I have to share my thoughts is something I don't take for granted. My first post was published on December 7th, 2021, and I'm almost at 100 posts which is crazy to think about. I want this to be part of the legacy I leave behind and hope these posts makes a difference in lots of lives. Happy Birthday to me and to all my Libras out there. Nothing but more blessings to everyone
