Whhhhhhhhhhhat!
Hello universe,
Finally, I’m just a few hours from turning 34! I can’t wait. I have to admit that being 33 had been tough, but nevertheless, I managed to pull through. I just want this chapter to be over so that a new chapter can begin.
I recall my last post about being frustrated because I wasn’t able to get a new phone. Lucky enough, I have gotten a new phone and no it’s not Apple. Let’s me just get this out there. Apple’s iPhone 6 served me for a good 4 to 5 years. However, with the new iPhones’ prices, I can no longer keep up with the Joneses and I’m not gonna pretend that I can. The truth is I don’t make that much and to save up a few months just to afford a phone is just sad. I came to a realization that I need to live within my means. I can no longer do things that I used to do and that’s ok. I’ve learn to adapt and be more flexible, no pun intended. Needless to say, quality is also important to me. With so many other up and coming brands out there, I do indeed have more choice. It’s not the one or the other anymore. My fairly new phone is working excellently and I have no complaints whatsoever. There! It’s a brand that I would further invest into in the future I must say.
Besides that, 33 has been a nightmare in the sense that I lost my best friend and I was forced to move out of my apartment of more than 10 years. Who knows what went wrong where! I’m very saddened by the whole thing as much as I am mad. I never thought that the closest and oldest of friends would betray and abuse our bond, but looking on the brighter side of things, I see it as a lesson learnt. You can’t force yourself into one’s life if it’s one-sided. You just gotta wake up, smell the coffee, pick yourself up and move on. It’s all about choices. I can’t - won’t allow myself to be surrounded by negativity. To a certain extent, having been forced to live alone has allowed me to make a home for myself. I do have my own privacy and I don’t have to deal with anything that I’m uncomfortable with. I must admit that the first few weeks were a little scary because I am not used to being alone. Although I had the apartment all to myself at times, it wasn’t for a very long time and it wasn’t a new environment. It took me some adjustments, but I’m alright now. Thank God.
In terms of profession, I think it is high time to see what’s out there. I’ve been at the same place for way too long and because of my fear and kindness, I grit my teeth and a single denture and took whatever came my way. I’m not getting any younger so I’m gonna travel the world, so to speak. Life is too much to do something and not feel fulfilled or motivated. When my ex-colleagues were going through this, it was very foreign and unrelatable. Having been in the same boat as they were for a couple of months now, I have had enough. I know my capabilities and I still have so much to offer. There are many things I would like to try to do and I’m excited about the possibilities. It’s true what they say. When employers don’t invest enough in employees, there will not be any growth. Here’s to more opportunities.
Although things don’t seem to be working out at this age, there were some goodness that came along. One of which is that I know who my friends are. I know they are the ones I can trust and count on. They have been my rock and I am very blessed to have them in my life. They do matter. Besides that, I manage to find love once again especially when I thought all hope was gone. Just when you are not looking, it appears unexpectedly. I am so thankful to be able to love and be loved once again. Other than that, I love my family without a doubt. I know that there are always there for me and without them there wouldn’t be me. Last but not least, I’m still living and breathing. I’m thankful for each and every day that I can still wake up and do the things I love.
To sum up, I’ve learned many lessons this year. In that sense, 33 has taught me well and prepared me better for the future. I’m looking forward to 34. No, I’m not expecting it to be a walk in a park, but it’ll get easier. Wish me luck and here’s to a better tomorrow.
