Happy birthday to me

Hey guys,

Me again…

Soooo if you hadn’t guessed it’s my birthday 🙂 . I will be posting about this jumpsuit soon btw jsyk ;). Anyhow, I’m really here to leave a note to my self. I thought it would be a fun exercise to think of 3 things I have learned in my now 23 years of living and 3 things I want to learn going forward. So without much ado, here goes:

Things I have learned

  1. With friendships and relationships, quality trumps quantity. It’s easier and far more fulfilling to keep up with a select few knowing that you are giving the very best of your self to them and receiving the same.
  2. It’s okay to be afraid. Not to borrow too heavily from Mulan here but it really is. Bravery is acting in spite of your fears. You can achieve great things when you challenge your fears.
  3. Second chances are a beautiful thing. To be given a second chance is one thing but to give a second chance and see meaningful change is truly special.

Things I would like to learn

  1. To be truly confident in my abilities and my beliefs even when it is uncomfortable to be
  2. To let go.
  3. To learn when to use my voice to initiate change and when to draw back

That being said, I feel very calm about the year ahead. I am grateful to God for so many things but on this day, I am especially grateful for life, family, friends and love.
