Chapter 24
Life is something else man. You don’t know the roads you’re going to go down, or the obstacles that you will have to face through the day or the week, and one day, you notice that this is all apart of you finding yourself. The man or woman that you are going to become, everything that you do is helping you learn, realize, and love who you are while you are on earth. There is so much to learn, so much to gain, to love, laugh, and adore. This past weekend I enjoyed the pleasure of turning 24. For all the love and and laughter that I shared in, is truly a testament to my story. I have been through so much just like the next person but I am so thankful. I am thankful for the people who have come and gone out of my life. The influence around me. The smiles that catches me off guard. My Jordan Year can be considered one that goes down in history. I truly believe that 23 was an awesome year for me. I was faced with so much adversity and more, but I feel as though I gained so much during this time. To feel that your peace, sanity and salvation have been compromised is an unbearable feeling, and it is important to remember that those three things, cannot be tampered with as long as you don’t allow it to be. No one is worth losing your peace or sanity over, and salvation is definitely not an option.
A few months ago, I received a few confirmations. They all stand out obviously, because it’s my life and what I need ya know? But someone told me one day, that everything that I thought I had lost, I would get that back and more for the my trouble...
(Let me say that again).
I would get EVERYTHING BACK AND MORE!! I have been worried or “pressed” about things, but to know that I have what I need, and I am progressing no matter what, is what is important to me. I will be okay no matter what. I am going to live, no matter what. I will be great no matter what. I WILL BE LEGENDARY NO MATTER WHAT.
I am looking for this next chapter to be filled with even more laughter and love. I am in the progress of opening up and making room for more in my life. More life, more laughter, and even more love. SZA said, “This time next year I’ll be living so good, won’t remember no pain, I swear. This time next year, I’ll be living so good, won’t remember yo name, I swear”. Words have never been so true and connected to my life than these right here. I am a conqueror and I have shared in so much. I am thankful for the memories that have been made and the memories that are to come. I found myself thinking and asking how God is going to top #23 because it was so awesome, but then I realized, I shouldn’t worry or question it. Greater is coming, and when it does, I will not be afraid reach out and grab it, speak my dreams and goals into existence, and not only live, but love with no apologies. I am ready for #Chapter24 and I could not be more happy.
