Hi guys, it has been a really long time since you heard from me. I am deeply sorry for leaving you in the dark for so long. I didn’t even give my theme for the year. I had it and because I didn’t document it, I lost it. You’re not here for the yapping. You are here for the annual birthday recap. So much has happened in my life since the last update that I don’t even know where to start.
Let’s start at the job, I left!!!!!!! The job that killed me so much that I could barely write. I got a better one and quit. I love my new job but it took me away from family. I spend most of my weekdays in a place far from home that speaks and lives differently than me. I am scared 90% of the time because I have never liked living away from my mom. I guess it’s time for me to grow up. It is not bad but I just love the comfort of home. But what’s important is I got a new job that pays better. So, things will look up for me financially in this upcoming decade.
Now, to my business, it is looking up as well. What it lacks is funding and I’m hoping this new job and all the studying I’m doing would help bring a better cash flow. The business is real estate. I own a real estate agency, so, dear reader, if you need an agency, look up Aurora Sol Realty. Thank you. Someday, we’ll talk about the name and why I started that particular business but for now, kindly recommend me.
So, back to me. Now, I am finding out who I am by myself and I love it. I am not too talkative. I am also not a complete neat freak but I do like my things in a certain way. If I put something in a spot, I expect it to always be there. I create my patterns unconsciously and I expect them to be followed. I am having a fun time discovering that part of me even though I knew it. I always said I wanted to live alone for a bit before I got married so this opportunity is timely.
In my love life, I have no update. I loved and lost as usual. I remember promising to get therapy before I got into a serious relationship so since I haven’t really done the therapy, the serious relationship is on the back burner. I have eventually become a bit of a red flag, to be honest. I am working on it. But in the past year, I ticked one of my favorite relationship stuff. We were talking and out of the blue he asked me to dance and we slow danced to all our favourite love songs. I fell for him a bit harder then and frankly, he’s hard to forget or let go but hey, everyone moves on eventually so, I’m not worried.
I had a vision for my 30th and frankly, there is nothing in my life right this minute that shows that I would have it. I couldn’t even have a birthday photoshoot and I am very sad about it but life goes on, innit? Since I made peace with the fact that the journey is the destination, I can let go of my little plans a lot.
This year, I became a minister at church and the coordinator for a youth group. I love the Christian woman I am becoming. My church has these area group meetings where we meet to discuss the sermon and every time I speak, I am amazed at how much I am learning from God. My faith has been tested in 2024 a lot but I reacted differently for quite a number of the situations. No matter what happens,I cry, I pray and then I praise. I am in my joyful season. I love to praise more than anything. It doesn’t matter what is happening, I’m going to sing me a lil praise song and dance a lil to thank God and that is healing me for some reason. I absolutely love it. 2024 is revealing. The last year as a 20-something-year-old was amazing. Oh, I finally enrolled in a master’s program. My grades were awesome that frst semester. I hope to end with that GPA.
I really don’t know what the next decade is bringing but I hope to accomplish these things;
- Buy a car
- Buy a house
- Get my accounting professional certificate
- Get my realtor licence
- Get my law degree
- Get my master’s degree
- Get my counselling certificate
- Build my own real estate developments
- Travel the world
- Become a pastor
So, help me, God.
Goodbye to my 20s, you taught me so much and I will forever be grateful.
Hello, 30s! it’s only up from here. The possibilities are limitless.
Happy birthday to me in advance!
