thirty, flirty and thriving🎈
I Imagined I’d be waking up on an island for this bday but god laughed lol. I got the next best thing, simplicity & “oh fck the Uber will be here in 5 mins, show me what you got lil mama” impromptu shoot.
For some reason I didn’t think to plan my 30th birthday, I knew all I wanted to do was sit on somebody’s beach— just soak up the sun and wake up in paradise. I tried to plan the trip last minute first it was lets do Jamaica, then Maldives then anywhere in the world that popped up in my head where I wanted to go, after endless DAYS / HOURS( literally the week before ) doing on extensive research trying to find the perfect place for my birthday— I actually find the perfect place 😍in curaçao.
It got to the point that I was SO tired of looking at hotels and resorts, sick and tired!
I became sad that I didn’t put the right amount of effort into bringing in a milestone birthday, so when I finally found something so beautiful I Immediately bought it and the flight to match too. Feeling beyond satisfied, I can finally go to bed.
While I lay in bed, I think to myself hmm… I wonder what the weather’s going to be 🥴 I spend the entire night thinking about how I should of thought of that first and would have to check in the morning.
First thing next morning, I google “what’s the weather like in curcao” and, google tells me rain season has begun and it’s more than likely it will be raining around the time I plan to go. Welp. I ended up canceling everything that same day and just like that I just decided to not react. I decided to say fxck it. We are just going to go with that flow, be present and celebrate with those who are around me. Let me tell you… This was prolly the best birthday I’ve had in a long time.
To Be honest I’ve been excited about stepping into 30’s, not gonna lie twenties was hot mess. The Best thing about turning Thirty was realizing that was all on purpose, in order to really get to know yourself and understand the universe your living in— we’re going to have these experience that will literally make you or break you, all for the purpose of helping you learn and grow. You really start to tap into what is you want out of life and a sense of direction becomes real. That doesn’t mean you’ll find a career and stick to it but you’ll find a direction and no longer be scared to explore but excited to give it a try. I’ve learned everyone you meet is your teacher and every experience you have depends on how you choose to react to it.
P.S
One of the best things I did learn in my twenties that saying no is actually a boundary.
