2010 the year we have all been looking forward to is finally here. I don know abt you but i stuffed the nu yr resolutions aside for the second yr. So im not goin' to bore you with fake this and that,; I choose to live my life a day at a time and live in the moment. I look back to a few years and one of the most amazing lessons i have picked up over life is that we make good decisions , make beautiful memories in moments wen we live for that moment. Worry not about the things u cant change but lay yo focus on things that are attainable, within yo reach, pray and love to the full.
I started this year on a good note, loved the feel of sand in between my toes, the full bloom of summer and fell in love with the blue of the sea again and again. But this very week has been hectic, i have reached low points bcos of circumstances in my life that i cant divulge here, yet i chose to appreciate that im alive and a better day is coming. Turning 25 last week monday was some kind of milestone for me. I think back to my childhood and how i prayed this moment would come and i would be so grown up. Well its here - im happy with who i am, (for the little in man's eyes) that i hv achieved and optimistic for that which is yet to come.
Since turning 25 i have been bombarded by so many questions about life, love and music.Im joking abt the music part but the first two yeah. Depending on where u grew up, they are societal norms u supposed to adhere to as a woman. Wen u getting married? kids and all that. I know not the answers to these i.r.o myself yet im amazed in how the traditional views still stick out in this modest society we living in. I have all respect for culture, i only wish the world could learn to embrace the changes that came with this nu era and stop making women feel like they are not complete unless they are married.
2010 and being 25 have a new profound meaning for me. I cant exactly define it but Its about being me me me. Call it selfish, im just going to be me. In the holidays that have just ended i took time off to do the things that i have always loved doing - embracing the little gal in me - think pink, heels, magazines and lots of chocolate. For a moment i had some inner peace and my aha- moment arose. Im so happy with being myself. Im not perfect and no im not trying to be. Im just me.
and to all the ladies who will read this rememba there is a little gal in all of us!!! Embrace and love her to the bone.
Finally the flowers attached to this post go out to all who like me love being alive. Its trully a blessing.
For God So Loved the World!!!
