31
So I'm turning 30 again. I say again because I turned 30 in 2020, and well, we /all know how that year went. 2020 was the most challenging year I have lived yet! Super emotional and so many unknowns, both in the world, my life, and motherhood. Overall, 2020 made me a better person, and I feel there is a purpose in life. Though it was a great year, my 30th birthday was not ideal. I had recently had my daughter suffering through my csection and depression, but at least I had In n out at home (shrugs). Regardless, I thank God for allowing me to live that year and get to where I am now.
I am blessed to be turning 31 and realizing how far I've come and how old I have become, lol. I thought I would have my shit together by 25, and well, that was another challenging year for me, but I am glad I'm getting older. I am much more mature and a better person for the 31 years of growth. Every year I wish for growth, and well, God will put you through things that will make you grow. Usually is by going through difficult situations and becoming a better person from them.
Some of the biggest lesson I have learned during my 31 years on this earth
1. Have realistic goals
2. Don't put an age on goals. For example, I wanted to get married by 25 and have a house and a child by 28. That didn't happen, but it happened at the right moment.
3. Going off with number 2, God knows when the time is right for you, so live life, and the rest will follow.
4. Don't stress about tomorrow. Who am I kidding, I stress, but I always keep in mind to TRY not to worry about the future.
5. Therapy is excellent, and everyone should try it at one point.
6. Family is everything, and friends will come and go.
7. Travel, and you will grow and learn about yourself.
8. Rest if you must but don't you quit
9. Invest
10. Do things that make you happy regardless of what others might think. This is your life and not theirs.
11. We all need to have faith.
12. Failure is just redirection. Don't be afraid to try things. It's better to say you tried instead of thinking what if.
I thank God for allowing me to live for 31 years and be blessed with a beautiful family, home, and life. Now to start new dreams and goals.
