roxilla: the early years
Not quite sure when it happened exactly, but over these past couple of weeks it feels like my mojo has been fully restored. I don’t think I’ve had this much fun being single in a long time, and with things going right again and so much to be grateful for and happy about, the run up to the big three oh in May is hitting an all-time high. The Year of the Tiger is set to bring huge change to all of us, and with the FIFA World Cup just a few short months away and a rather important birthday around the corner, it feels like things are being set into place for major awesomeness.
Maybe this is what growing up is really about – a sense of ‘becoming’ yourself, and finally loving who you are… getting through the challenges of childhood, the angst of the teenage years, and those awkward and self-obsessed twenties.
This year, I finally figured out something very important… I am all I really need or want in life, just as I am and what all the last remnants of issues I might have. While there will always be bad days, and a teeny bit of lingering self-doubt at the worst of times, I’m doing just fine and I’m growing to like me just as I am.
It can only get better from here on out, I think I’ve had more than my share of negative life experiences. Now it’s time to enjoy the best years still to come, without the baggage that was holding me back throughout my twenties.
It’s time to start living la vida lipstick again, for better or worse, and whatever life may throw at me. Bring. It. On.
That pic is so cute! I am dreading the big three oh more than I can say.
I like this. That’s all. I need one of those silly facebook options as of late, to just hit “I like this” instead of trying to pull out some witty random comment such as this, jus to show my appreciation of this post.
@Po, thanks chick – was a tech photography studio portrait project thing… so young and innocent back then.
@Champs, ye… know what you mean exactly. Maybe there’s a WP plugin to this end, could be worth checking out, hehe.
