17th March — From Doubt to Delight — Celebrating Birthday for a Life Well-Lived

Embracing Gratitude and Triumph on Another Trip Around the Sun

Hey, guess what? It’s my birthday today, and let me tell you, the vibe is off the charts!

It’s super chill and soulful, unlike any other year. Used to be, I’d be all like, “Eh, just another day, nothing special,” You feel me? But not this time. Nope, today’s hitting differently. I’m feeling seriously jazzed about where I’m at in life. I may not have accomplished everything I set out to do, but I now have more than I could have ever imagined.

First and foremost, a major shoutout to my relationships for always having my back, even when I couldn’t have my own. You believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. I am forever grateful for your love and support, then and now.

Shoutouts to all the awesome professional team members in my life who’ve had my back through thick and thin. Even the skeptics and haters, have to give them props, you know? Every twist and turn, whether good or bad, has shaped me into the person I am today.

After wrapping up my studies, finding the right place was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. I tried my hand at being a Banking Officer, Senior Auditor, Research Assistant — none of them quite clicked. But then, guess what? I stumbled upon this whole online thing, and man, it just felt right. Even though I’m not all about flaunting my life on social media.

A close friend once told me that my writing is poor, and that I can’t even write a good paragraph. I’m left second-guessing everything. While everyone else is living their best lives, I’m stuck in this new phase of struggle, feeling lost and overwhelmed. It’s been a rollercoaster of tears, frustration, and feeling like there’s no way out.

I ain’t going to sugarcoat it, there were some rocky moments along the way. Anxiety, feeling lost — been there, done that. But I pushed through, even when things got crazy tough. And you know what? It totally paid off.

Nowadays, I wake up each morning excited to do what I love. No more second-guessing or feeling insecure. I found my groove, I found my place, and let me tell you, I’m feeling on top of the world!

As I celebrate another trip around the sun, I’m filled with mad gratitude — for the journey, the struggles, and especially for the amazing people who’ve rocked my world along the way.

Happy Birthday to Me.
