I love being in my
thirties because I don’t let the things that used to bother me in my twenties
get to me anymore. Things like losing friends and family, leaving behind
relationships that were not good for me, feeling insecure about my appearance,
or being scared to dine out by myself. In my thirties, I embrace everything
about myself. I have gained confidence and learned to love what I once
disliked.
Being in my thirties
has also helped me grow more mature in my relationships with my family and
friends. I understood that I had to set boundaries for myself to have peace of
mind, instead of always playing the victim. It’s easy to blame others for everything,
but it’s not fair. I was that person who pointed fingers at others, even when I
was partly responsible. So, I decided to take charge of how I allowed others to
treat me, and that made me set boundaries.
At this moment, I am
happy with where I am in my life, both mentally and physically. I am constantly
growing and changing every minute of every day. I am learning from my errors, I
am discovering myself, what I enjoy, what I reject, and what I accept. It is
wonderful to be here, and I adore it here. I am so fortunate, and I am thankful
for the life I have today. The fact that my life is someone else’s hope makes
me value everything I have and the people I have in my life. My children make
me feel alive, I look at them and I see how much God loves me through them.
So, 34, I greet you
with a warm hug. I vow to keep being gentler to myself and offer the same
kindness to others. I will not remain where I am not welcome, I will not
hesitate to leave anything or anyone that will disturb my tranquillity.
One last thing: your
words shape your reality. Be careful of what you say to yourself and what you
say to others. Words can build and words can ruin. Be mindful. Be blessed.
Thank you for reading & and sharing I appreciate
YOU.
