The past year has been a wonderful journey. It has been the most challenging, stress full, productive, mind boggling year I had for a very long time. It has played with my emotion and I was on this roller coaster ride. Going on circles with ups, downs and bumps that left bruises here and there that healed eventually with no lasting scar I hoped but with valued lessons.
Its been few years since I have written a note on my birthday. It took awhile for words to form sentences that turned into a worthwhile story. The last few years was eventful and there are lots of little stories to be told. Several chapter of my book begun and ended. Relationship came and went then another started. Met a lot of people that changed the course of my life. A 360 turn. I was at lost, but amazingly found my bearings and enabled me to see where I really want to go. Amidst the chaos, I found my direction. Among the ruins and darkness, I found the guiding light that lead me on the right path. Its not going to be an easy feat but it could be accomplished.
Most of the things I have set to do, I have achieved. Crossed out a few places and things on my bucket list. That was so much fun. And I am most grateful for the experience. It has awakened my dormant sense of adventure. Now I hungered for more. Some things didn’t came out as planned, and its been difficult, but solutions often presents itself when you least expected it. The most important lesson is to keep an open mind, burn bridges when its utterly necessary and keep connecting with different people. Be yourself, you don’t need to play a part nor be someone else to be respected and liked.
In my mid 30’s, I am definitely not where I have imagined I will be, but I have never been more clear on the direction my life needs to follow. My best is yet unwritten and that journey has just begun.
