25 going on 52

Hmmmmm! So my 25^th 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.
