2018
Ever since I clocked 23, I have been stressing about
life. The
pressure to be the best version of me and especially of acquiring
success has been eating me up. There’s nothing wrong with wanting those
things but I
feel like I’m working towards a clock, and I only have a specific period
of
time to do these things. I think it’s just what society has made me
believe. “I
have to be in school at this age, I have to get married at a certain
age, have
kids at that age, bla bla bla….” Listening to people and the norm messes
with
your vibe LOL. Everyone has a TIME, and it is specific to just YOU. Kind
of
like how everyone is special and unique in their own way, same way
people have
different moments life happens for them. I can’t sit here and
dwell on how a girl I went to school with who’s also 23, is married with
a
kid. Why exactly should that bother me? It doesn’t mean I have failed as
a
human being because I’m not there YET. Never ever look at someone’s life
and
feel bad about yours. It’s their time. Be happy for them.

I have always been the girl that never settles. I want
something?? I work towards it and I don’t stop till I get it. After I
graduated
from the university, I didn’t know what I wanted from life. I found
myself thinking:
“I just want any job…I don’t care, as long as it’s not too tasking and I
make
money”. WHAT?? I have no idea the person I was back then. Sometimes you
find yourself in
a shell and you are scared of what you are capable of so you shrink back
in
it every time something daunting comes up. I knew there was something
missing because I felt so ordinary. That wasn’t me. I wasn’t really
living, I was only
existing. I had to move veryyyy far away from my comfort zone for it to
make sense to me again. The things I didn’t think I was capable of? I’m
kicking a** at them right now. Do not get me wrong, it hasn’t been easy.
Nothing is easy especially the best, most amazing things. They never
come
easy. Kind of makes me remember a quote from one of my favorite movies:
“Our
deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”. You know the
things you
think you will suck at? The things you haven’t even tried but think you
won’t
excel at? Well, let me break it to you… you will not know till you try.
FAIL!
FAIL at it. But get up and
try again. Keep trying till you get what you want. Who says failure is terrible thing? Don’t
sit there and regret things you did not do. It’s better to try them, and if it
doesn’t happen, you’ll know you tried.

So, do not work at the pace they want you to because you
think you are running out of ‘time’. Who invented timeđź‘€? Certainly not people....
Things may not make sense right now. We all don’t know what we are doing as we
are only doing our best. But I promise you the future will always bring love,
light, understanding and clarity. Do not put your happiness in the hands of a
bunch of strangers who think they know it all. Keep working and striving hard.
It’s all going to pay off in the end❤!
