I’m not even
going to lie. I like the idea of turning 30 tomorrow and starting the new
volume of this book I call my life on earth. Its bittersweet t say goodbye to
an era where in most of it all I did was try to find who I was and my purpose
on earth. And although I have yet to figure it all out I have learned so much
about myself.
My twenties were
full of some great moments and some not so great, but let’s call those life
lessons. By reflecting back to those moments I can truly say I learned a lot. I
definitely had several lessons I had to repeat to grasp the concept but for the
most part I think I got it now. Aside from those life lessons everything else was
perfect.
*I married my
best friend. I may not have known so back then but the older we get the more we
realize we really are each other’s best friend. We have grown and mature so
much together and most importantly we have leaned to love each other
unconditionally. Marriage is hard, very hard. It requires patience, love, forgiveness,
and maturity. Yet for every bad day there were at least ten good ones, which I
wouldn’t trade for the world.
*I became mother
to two amazing sons. Half of the time I still don’t get this motherhood gig
right but seeing those sweet angels of mine grow and evolve into their unique
loving and caring personalities makes me forget about every gray hair I have
gained since their birth. They seriously are my pride and Joy.
*I have grown so
much closer to my mother. She is right up there with my husband holding a best
friend title. She’s my backbone, she seriously is. Life would be so much harder
without her and I am thankful for every day I get to have her on earth with me.
*My siblings on
the other hands are a different story. I feel that over these last several
years we have grown apart more than I have ever dreamed of. However, things are
turning around and I hope that as they grow older and mature more themselves
they’ll too start to realize what’s really important in life and who truly
means them well. Whatever the future holds for us they will be forever my
little brother and sisters.
*I’ve had the
opportunity to travel so much these last ten years. From Dominican Republic to
Puerto Rico several times, Costa Rica, Mexico, and several other states in the
country. I look forward to the many other travel adventures that are waiting to
happen.
*I decided on a
promising career. It has been a long and everything but easy of a journey but
I’m getting there and that’s all the matters. I like to say that I live a life
of no regrets because those experiences have helped in shaping who I am.
However, if there’s anything I would do different is in this section of life.
*Friendships.
Well let’s just say that the older I got the less friends I ended up having.
These days I seem to have a lot of acquaintances and about a handful of
friends. And I’m okay with that.
*I have spent
this entire decade working in the medical field. Learning, seeing,
understanding, helping, you name it. I’ve come across so many people and I have
learned so much about so many things. These years were years that developed my
work ethic and really taught me about the meaning of life.
*Heath &
Fitness were not a major part of this decade but will for sure be a part of the
next. I like to call the last ten years stepping-stones ;)
*Last but not
least, my faith and religion. The biggest most gratifying decision I made this
decade was to follow Jesus, to trust him and believe on his promises. Don’t
misunderstand me I’m not perfect. I fail a lot. Yet being able to see the
progress I have made over the years motivates to continue on this path. I am so
happy about my growth in this area of my life. I am no where near perfect nor
do I expect it to be by the end of my time on this earth but one thing I know
for sure is that with each passing day I become more aware of the importance of
prayer and faith in God.
I have to
admit that I have yet figured out all there is to know about life but I can
finally say that I have figured out part of who I am and what I want out of
life. So no, I will not be saying goodbyes to my 20s, I rather say Thank You.
Thank You for the lessons learned.
