My 26th Birthday Project: Day 1

 

HERE WE GO AGAIN

It’s that time of the year once again. The beginning of a countdown to the 7^th day, my birthday. As I have been doing for the past 3 years, I will spend the days leading up to that day writing and posting about my past year.

This year is different though. I must confess, it has been a hard year and unfortunately, I cannot go into details about it yet. But as I promised myself, consistency is non-negotiable. Writing about my life has become therapy for me, it serves as a form of self-examination and gives me an external view of my actions and thoughts.

Although my year wasn’t so great I’m still here pushing, keeping the light on. I know how important it is to keep my light aflame, it is not enough for it to just exist, I have to keep it lit, shining brilliantly till it can thrive on its own.

Therefore, for this year I will be doing something different but still very personal. I will be posting poems or writeups around the emotions I felt at different times this past year. People express their emotions in different ways and at this time in my life, this is how I choose to express mine.

I hope you read and maybe feel something or even relate to the words I will be sharing. I hope you feel inspired and maybe not so alone.

Thank you.
