Thirty............Thirty..............Thirty................Thirty................THIRTY!!!!
I could never imagine this day. All of my life 30 was SO old.
Like you were officially a dinosaur at 30.
How crazy is it that! I am almost officially dinosaur status. Now that it is around to corner I cannot wait to turn 30! It is a new decade of life. SO much had changed in a decade and it feels so good to be turning a page into a new chapter of life. I cannot wait to see what this chapter brings. My 20's have been so much better than I could have asked for! I have done and seen so much. So many highlights (that I have already stared another post for). But I have determined that 30 is officially going to be my year. I love that I keep seeing Wonder Woman officially turns 30 this year because that is exactly how I feel. Like Wonder Woman, I feel like I am at a place where life really is great, I am so comfortable with who I AM and no longer feel like I need to please others. Now with that being said it doesn't mean life doesn't throw me curveballs or that I don't know that I need to continue to improve myself. IT means that I am okay with the improvements that need to be made. Instead of judging myself so harshly and being mad at myself for x, y or z. I can approach it with a different look at life. Love where I am while I strive to be even better. Like a fine wine better with time. THIRTY is going to be so good! Here are some of my major reasons to think that.
1. I am comfortable in my own skin. While I know what I want to improve on somethings I can still love myself flaws and all. And let me tell you there is a difference with accepting where you are and loving yourself. Truly loving yourself doesn't mean you think you look good at every moment of the day but others looks or "perfections" don't make you judge yourself harder. They don't make you believe you are less because you are not the perfect body type, have the perfect cloths or look just right all the time.
2. I love who I am. I am compassionate, caring, a listener, I can be funny, I am passionate and throw myself in full heartedly to things that matter.
3. I no longer feel like I need to please others. While I work to be a better person I no longer feel a need to please people. This is not meant to be snobby but instead helps me to realize what is important to me and my life situations. I try to do the right thing and show people I care through my actions but I will not put myself, my family, or my beliefs second to what others expectations are.
4.Communication comes so much easier. As a shy kid it is always scary to communicate especially when it is not what your friends think is cool or what the norm is or if conflict will arise from the communication. Now I know how important it is to communicate (it still isn't easy but important)
people would ask what is wrong and I would always just brush it off and frustrations would build and ruin friendships or cause tension. Now it is easier when something is bothering me to communicate.
5. I don't have to be perfect or seem perfect. I can be flawed and fall on my face. I can love Jesus and I can have a glass of wine or loose my temper or say curse word and still be OKAY! Just because I am a Child of God doesn't mean I have to be perfect. The perfect thing about being a Child of God means I can be flawed but I am saved through Jesus. "Your love is greater, your love is stronger, your love awakens me". I truly feel awakened to the love God has for me because I feel such a peace in myself. I am called by a God who is stronger than anything that will bring me down.
SO the point of #AGCountingDownTo30. This is a celebration to a new chapter in life. #DinosaurStatus is officially #FreakingAwesomeFiercelyBeautifulWonderfulLoveYourselfThirty. Sounds about right....Super long hashtag fits. To kick off this awesome new chapter of who gives a flying F#$% what people care about except me. Love yourself constantly. Surround yourself with amazing people who center and inspire. When I started my countdown I had close to 10 weeks until my 30th birthday and I want to make #BreakingInto30 even easier. So 10 weeks to improve my health, break some bad habits, improve my good habits, purge life of things that are not needed, make the things I love the center of my life. I am #UnderConstruction. So I will be sharing on the things I am changing or doing in my life in the count down till my bday. Wonder Woman here I come!
XOXO,
Beautiful
