I am officially 23 years old! It is always bitter sweet to get older, but as I grow I find that I embrace aging with grace and gratitude. A birthday is another chance to live and grow, and not many people make it to their next birthday! It is a blessing to be on this earth, and be able to grow, learn, walk, love, and travel another day, week, and year. I enjoy aging I find out more and more about myself as I grow and that is one of my favorite things about this life. Exploring me. I always like to take time to myself to reflect on my year, and growth when having a birthday.
Year 22 was a really good one. I feel that I've grown a lot and have learned that it is okay to be alone, and that I can be alone. This is the first year that I have been single since I was 17 years old, my first year exploring life completely free and open to all options. This year I chose myself. Probably one of the best choices I've ever made. This is one of my favorite ages to be, I feel completely free, free to explore and be independent. I will continue to learn and grow as a young woman and also set goals. I think it is important to share goals with others, so this year my goal is to be more self-disciplined!
The definition of self-discipline, according to my google dictionary is,"the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses; the ability to pursue what one thinks is right despite temptations to abandon it." I have made this a personal goal of mine, in hopes that I can be disciplined all around in my life, and be able to be more decisive. I am again thankful to be on this earth another year and will make the best of my 23rd year!
