B.O.A.T.S || Almost a QUARTER of a CENTURY



The thing about growing older and living is that only time actually tells
By time I mean your next birthday, the next morning and the next year..
These almost insignificant, unnoticeable tells are the most tricky parts of our lives.
Yesterday we were children dancing in the rain,
we were adolescents looking forward to finishing school and growing older
Today we are almost 25 or is it the big 30.
The saddest part is that we lied to ourselves about being ready when we are the next age,
We are never going to be ready, not monetary wise, education wise, emotion wise and time wise.
Everything we need to do needs to be done once we feel the need to do it.

Looking and reflecting at my life; who would have thought that I would be almost 25 stuck in a job I don't love, balancing work, school and my passion, still jumping buses with no relationship and no finances to follow my dreams or to travel.

Growing older is hard, it's as swift as a thief or bad event.
Its even harder when your dreams are really bigger than you.
Its also a blessing and a gift.
At least that's what I have been learning lately;
Growing is the right kind of nudge
The gift of ageing and ageing beautifully.
The gift of growing and learning while at it.
The gift of meeting people and making friends.
The gift of experiences and experiencing
The gift of talking and finding wisdom from a past time.


(more words coming soonest)

    I was just thinking about this yesterday, jumping buses and not being in a serious relationship.
    I still believe there's time for everything (I could be overly optimistic sometimes) so let's sit back and enjoy this self discovery stage we're in.

    Hi Dee,

    When in doubt remember this passage. And keep going strong at any age.

    Matthew 19:26

    But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.


    Often times just when we are about to lose hope a ray a sunshine enters our lives. This is the way it works. So let us rejoice in our youth. The harvest belongs to the faithful planters of good seed.

    Growing up can be hard, scratch that, is hard but it's not something we can stop just try to endure/enjoy whatever comes with it.
