Hmmmmm! So my 25th birthday is approaching and
instead of excitement I am dreading it. Well maybe not exactly dreading it but I’m
somehow not impressed with my accomplishments and achievements as of yet.
I know what you think, that I have a nerve to think this way
when in fact I am in good health not in need and all my loved ones are still
with me but hear me out here.
Like everyone else, I had an idea of where I wanted to be by
the time I hit 25. I pictured myself settled in a career which will eventually
lead to my dream of becoming Minister, maybe with a husband or, to say the
least, a boyfriend. I had hoped that I would’ve made an impact or a difference
to my community and society positively. This is all I wished for and set out to
achieve in the next 2 years after graduating from university and embarking on a
self seeking journey.
Over the years I have been busy trying to achieve this and
as I am nearing that 25 mark, I am sitting here, alone in my room, wondering if
I have achieved ANY of the things I had hoped for…!
Personally, I don’t think I have achieved nor done enough
but I thank God for his mercies and guidance over the years.
I am NOT yet settled
in the career leading to my dream and destined job but I have the experience
and knowledge to help me get there.
I am a published writer for a successful magazine (Xcape
Magazine) and currently negotiating with a second magazine.
No! I don’t have kids but I am happy with whom I’m with right
now.
I have NOT made headlines but as I strive for perfection every
day, I try to make a difference in the lives of those around me and I hope that
this blog is empowering readers to be themselves and stay true to who they are
BUT always be open to learn new things.
So in a nutshell, I am not boasting nor bragging but hoping
to encourage you to be positive no matter what your situation, expectations or
limitations.
I am not living my dream yet but I am
VERY happy and content with where I am.
I took 2 years after university to travel and find myself
and boy did I do just that. My 2yrs is up and I’m preparing to head back home. Keep
a look out for my journey’s tales.
