I have never been big on birthdays but I love once in a while to be extra and to celebrate with my loved ones. This week, I celebrated with my boyfriend earlier and he gave me a great treat. We went to a nice restaurant, had some food and drinks and we spoke for hours. I felt special.
I never set new years resolutions on New Year's buut I set them on my birthday. This birthday, we are trying some recipes in the house then we go for sushi later at Furusato( a great Japanese restaurant in Nairobi). I also know I will get some chocolate and wine. I am so easy to please. that for me will be a recipe for a great birthday. Oh and some of my family already called to wish me a great birthday.
I decided to compile the cliche 20 things I have learned etc post. I am not 20 years old. I wish I was but let's just write 20 lessons yes?
20 Lessons & hard truths I have learned.
- The older you grow, your circle becomes smaller. I had like 30 great friends in campus and now I have 5 true loved ones. Two are on Steemit. Hey
&
. I love you guys so much. Hugs!
- Keep those you love closer. Family is everything. Love you
- Life is short so live every day to the fullest. Carpe diem!
- Every small task can be broken down into small manageable tasks and that's how to get sh*> done.
- Bullet journalling is amazing! It has changed my life.
- You do not actually need a TV that bad! You have done fine without one! (lol)
- Walk your own path. Your life is your life.
- Trust the timing of your life. You will cross your milestones at your own & God's time.
- Trust the slow moments in your life. I call them the wilderness phases where things are slow and opportunities are few. Life ebbs and flows and there must be ups and downs. Trust that this too shall pass.
- Sometimes you have to ask yourself, " Do I want to be right or do I want to be happy".
- Forgive!
- Trust your gut.
- Learn to say no.
- Rejection has nothing to do with my worth. We all get rejected.
- Not everyone will like you just like you do not like everyone you meet.
- You can practice confidence.
- You are what you eat.
- You miss all the shots you don't take.
- Lets success and results be your noise. Talk is cheap.
- Change is scary but necessary.
Bonus lesson: Be fearless when pursuing what sets your soul on fire!
I know you have heard some of these lines but I have written them down and they have been things that I read from time to time.
In a nutshell, I am happy for the years that God has kept me on this earth. Happy birthday to me.
