November has arrived !
So, my 23rd birthday is coming up...god, I'm joining the rest of the group. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but age and I don't really mix. I just hate the fact that a number determines how you should act or present yourself to the rest of the world. I hate how a number says "good bye" to your childhood and "hello" to responsibilities and obligations. Why does time continuously tick by without our approval. I don't want to go back in time and relive a specific moment, but I would like time to slow down a bit and wait for me to catch up on the goals that I had set for myself for each age.
Twenty-three. The big 2, 3. What can I say about it?? Hmm...Well, like my previous birthdays, I never really imagined myself at this age. When I was younger, I knew people grew old, but I never pictured myself older than the age I was at. 23. Hmm...
At this point in my life, I want to be content with what I have. I know life isn't presented to me on a silver platter, but I would love to have some appetizers, and desserts plus drinks along the side of my entree. Meaning: Instead of what my life is right now, I would love some excitement, something extra that is wanted but not needed. At 23, I want to treat my body like it's the queen. I want to dress in clothing that flatters my body. I want to go out and flaunt what I have. I want to get my nails done and hair did. At 23, I want to start my path at becoming one of the top business woman of the fashion industry. I want to get all the right connections and know all the right people to further my career. This mean, I know, that I have to put myself out there. I have to be an extrovert/extravert rather than an introvert. I have to become more open and social and to take advantage of any opportunity that comes my way. I can't overanalyze situations anymore because if I do, then things will never happen and opportunities will be missed. Along the same lines, at 23, it's about time that I have another relationship. I need to start dating again or at least try dating again. Accept my situation, take what I can from it, learn from it, and move on. Go with the flow rather than analyze which direction I should be drifting in.
All these things I already know, I just have to apply it. And there no time like the present to get all these things done.
DAMN, 23. Who knew.
Well, as I continue to age as my years near 23, I promise to do more for my fellow man, my family, my community, for humanity. I don't want to live for myself anymore. I want to volunteer and do things for self-less reasons. Actions with benefits. No ulterior motives, just actions for the sake of helping others. I want to stay in contact with friends and families -- people who have once been a part of my life. I need to stop living excessively. I have to squash any drama and build new bridges. In my bag alone, I have 4 chapsticks and 2 lip glosses. Who needs that?!?! SIMPLIFY. That's the key -- simplify.
