24

24.

Happy Birthday to me! On January 18, 2018, I turned 24 years old. Thank you God for another year! I have faced so many obstacles throughout this month. I had to take a step back and just focus on the good that has been going on for me. I was recently told by a close friend, not to let my circumstances bring me down. That’s my motto for 24, look beyond what I’m going through.

As I previously stated, my month hasn’t been going as well as I hoped. I’ve managed to fall back into old habits when things didn’t work out. Over and over, I tell myself to be positive and keep smiling and things will turn around. In my case, more challenges happen and that’s what I seem to focus on the most.

“No matter, how positive I am things tend to get worst”

Why does that happen? To bring me down or make me stronger? My vote is to make me stronger. Whenever I allow it to bring me down, it takes my strength away and that’s not how it should be. My 2018, is teaching me to toughen up. This lesson is a good birthday present. 24 will not be like any other age; 24 will be epic. No more beating myself up and letting negativity win.

Since I’ve been doing these blogs, I’ve changed. I know I’ve said that many times before, but it’s so true. I opened myself up to the world and related to people. I am not perfect and I still have my occasional slip ups. I learn from them and keep on moving on. 24, I will not let my circumstances get to me. I will live my best life and I won’t let anything stop me. Cheers to 24!
