Lately, I've been in my own world. Writing more, finding new hobbies, branding my business and enjoying new and old friendships. And the point of it all( channeling Anthony Hamilton,hey boo) I'm not competing with anyone but myself. Yes, MYself. Each day my goal is to be better than yesterday. Smile more: less tears. Indulge in great conversations: less frustration. You get my point.
When we embrace the simple things life has to offer, there we find meaning.
I remember when I kissed my crush for the 1st time, Nickoyan( but we called him Craig). We were in the hallway of my building and he cornered me on the third floor. I never shared it with anyone and although he's now deceased; that will forever be a moment in time: Remembered.
There are certain moments in life that will take our breathe away. And if they mean anything, it's something we'll forever hold on to.
The saying, " With age comes wisdom", has certainly began to make sense to me since entering my late 30's.
I digress.
I celebrated 36 years of life on 2/16. I thought I needed a lot of people around to celebrate with me. Made plans, for Sunday night and expected people to come out and it flopped. The immature Cheneka would've been in her feelings. But the mature, grown woman Nek just smiled. On my actual birthday, I enjoyed a bag of Garden Harvest Sun Chips and went to Old Navy! Since I AM A BOSS I had to work a few hours and the remainder of the evening was spent with my Momm and children. The highlight was some amazing cupcakes and wine! Yummy
Simple was definitely at its best.
Today my loves, I challenge you to just be happy. You enjoy talking to someone? Call them and let them know( texts are good but if you really like them a call is much better)..
You kissed someone and it gave you goosebumps, kiss them again ( more passionately).
You like hugs? Hug on someone today. It's brisk outside, a warm embrace will definitely take the chill away.
You saw something and didn't purchase it? Go back and get it.
You want to register for a class? Do it!
What's holding you back? What's stopping you? I hope it's not people. They hold no power over us unless we give it to them.. Just because I'm not telling you does not mean I'm not living, being happy and doing me.. Because I am. I'm just learning that simple is best. The less people you tell, the less mess there is to spread!!
Toodles my good people & Make it Great!!
Signed,
I'm Winning and it feels Good!
I enjoyed my memory lane as ur words guided me

ReplyDeleteThis definitely made me think back to a lot of my firsts. Some I'd rather forget but none the less, the lessons made it worthwhile.
