Hanging on to my last months of being 25 dearlyyy... like that last piece of pie, I am savoring it. So quick to say I am only 25, bih!!.. but not anymore mama.. not anymore.
Can we press pause though? call half time? no? dang it! Oh mehn, I would soon be closer to being 30 than 20. Ok maybe I am being a little dramatic. I have grown in so many ways in the last year alone. When I turned 25 that was my turning point, I became an official adult, and put away all my "childish" things Lmao. Dare I say I am proud of the young woman I have become? Matter of fact I am.. I am definitely not in the same place I was 2 years ago.. and for that I am extremely grateful and deserve props.. CAN SOMEONE HAND THIS YOUNG LADY A COOKIE, DAMMIT???
I have become closer to God, I am very aware of what I want and don't want, I am better with my money.. for the most part :) just to mention a few. My perception on life has changed tremendously. Let's take a moment to reminisce on what I thought I wanted when I was younger and what I actually want now? Hahahaha.. oh don't do it ma'am.
Bottom line for me right now is to be happy, genuine undiluted happiness and to be so close to my creator that when I read the Quran or ponder on my existence, I shed a tear or two.
I am not even sure what I want this post to be about.. 26 things I am thankful for? 26 ways I have grown in the last years? Goals for this new age?.. na I would not even bother with that because I have learned that we can make plans and at the end of the day it God's will that will be done. I aam not even about to pressure on myself.
BRB... I need to go say my prayers.. because "eyan le ku any focken time".. Hahah that should be my new motto yo! I love it!
Ok I'm back, I think the real question is Why are you afraid of turning 26? Do you think you have not achieved a lot for a 26 year old because I beg to differ. Girl, look at you!!! Should I start counting all your blessings?? Or is it the African in you that dreads being single at 26? According to ilorin standard, girl you are too old to be single, your mates have at least 2 kids so WYD?? hahaha
I refuse to settle mehn, I won't compromise my happiness just cause I want to fit into society. I just keep praying for God's guidance in choosing a partner, long life, someone I will raise a beautiful islamic family with, love me and my family.. my list goes on.. but that is not why we are here.. there you go again drifting, girl.
I finally figured out what I want this post to be about. Things I wanna achieve before turning 26. That's in just over a month girl, but like Obama 2008 said, yes You can! In my head I am turning 30 yo. I wanna look back on this post and have checked everything on this list. Here goes:
Give icebreaker speech.. Its been 3 years cuh! still nothing so I am challenging you to give two speeches before the year runs out. 2 speeches and you'd TTM in between.
Apply to another solid school for environmental. Damn I feel so damn old going back to school but hey, better late than never. 2016 we should be in there worrying about midterms and finals oh I miss those days.. lol jk I don't
Pay of one of your credits. yep aunty big spender big spender, just pay that ish off and bring up your score that's more important than saving up right now if you wanna buy a house next year. Haram money lmao, pay it off abeg.
I wanna do something special this year. I wanna give back. I have not figured out how yet but I wanna see direct impact. I will come back to this.
So yah mama, the goals are actually not a lot aka not overwhelming, all things you can achieve if you put your mind to it.
I'd be back to check this, and of course writing a response so please don't disgrace me abeg. lol
Till next time,
Love Always,
S
