A Note On Birthdays

Today, I become old again!

First of all, it’s my birthday today.
For the first time in the history of many years, I have zero tensions regarding getting older. Normally, it starts with feeling giddy a few days before the birthday anniversary, and then the birthday comes and brings a certain gloom. The urge to celebrate begins to wane. You begin to wonder what is there to celebrate. Questions like, ‘What am I doing with my life?’ begin to pop up—comparison with peers, where you are at, and where they are at. I am sure I am not the only one who feels this way.

But this year, no! We are not doing that.

This year, I turn 24. I am officially in my mid-twenties, SCREAMSSS!!!
It looks scary, but it also looks like there is a lot to be done. The last time I felt giddy like this was when I turned 2021, despite my situation then. As someone who complained a lot about what 2023 was like for me, I am entering this new year on a positive note. Also, I am ready to put in the work. Last year, I just let life happen to me and watched this spiral out of control. This year, I am taking it back.

So, as I love to say, January 27 is the beginning of a new calendar year for me. January 1 to 26 is to jumpstart. So, as you are wishing me a happy birthday, also wish me a happy new year.

I hope that this year you are intentional about yourself and the things that mean the most to you.

Cheers.
