A Birthday Reflection on Life, Growth, and the Fear of What’s Next
It's a new day for me TODAY
I transcended TODAY
Into the superior and better DAYS!
As I reflect on Life, Growth, and the fear of what's next. I wonder if these thoughts really just end here.
But first, let's hold that thought.
What I am filled with at this moment is joy, loads of happiness, and gratitude, because I got to see this day. A lot of lives were lost in the previous years, and some didn't and might not make it for their birthday this year, but I did, and I am super grateful to God for that. The gift of life is my only excitement. I am not so excited about adding another year because it's scary to think I'm getting older. This means more responsibilities, more expectations and more focus and determination on everything I set out to do.
Ok, this was what I was writing on my birthday, which was on the 31st of January, but I was interrupted and never finished it.
Now, reading what I wrote before I was interrupted, I still haven't had a change of heart, still scared of all the responsibility that is to come, still wondering how strong enough I will be when faced with those challenges. Still, all I can say to myself is that I will get there and I will make it, why? Because if I do not, I will be the one affected the most, and when all of my friends and mates have gone further in life, and I am still behind, it will only be my loss.
So, we are getting older, right?. It gets tough, right? Worry, yes! of course,
But just long enough for you to figure out a plan and
a perfect strategy for all that comes.
I love myself, my family, and all my friends for the support and love they have shown me as I've reached this phase of my life in one piece.
This isn't just a birthday reflection on Life, Growth, and the fear of what's next, but also the biggest motivation for me as I turn a year older.
Yes, reflect Gabs, always be grateful, pick up the broken pieces and keep trying.
