Designing the Future I Desire- 2/2/22

The trials and tribulations of a young black creative entrepreneur

This past fall I turned 24. It didn't hit me until the new year. I was in the shower and I said to myself-- I. am. 24.

At the moment, as simple as that seemed, it was groundbreaking for me to realize.

I didn't know what that meant but I knew it was something substantial and that I had the power to define it.

So what is 24 to me? How am I going to make this year count?

Things I did recently for ME:

Leaned into my playfulness and imagination

I've been connecting with my inner child and allowing myself to dream and believe that I can achieve those dreams. I paint, I draw, I roller skate, I blow bubbles, and eat my favorite childhood comfort meal of buttered noodles while watching Big Time Rush with no judgment and all love.

Active Lifestyle equals Happy Me

I know this is not the case for some people but I notice a difference in my overall mood when I'm being more active and intentionally moving my body. This year I intend to honor my body more than I ever have before.

Reenrolled in School

I love to learn. I went to college and did what I felt was expected of me, not what I truly enjoyed. Now this time around, as an independent student, I choose happiness. I'm learning new skills in all topics that interest me and help me in my current career path (fashion, music, and photography) I feel so energized by being in a learning environment again. I still don't like homework though. LOL

NO INSTAGRAM

As much as I love sharing my days with the world, this past month, I felt the need to draw back my energy so I could focus on what truly matters and how to harness my powerful energy more in the new month. I'm done isolating. I'm done hiding. I'm ready as ever to continue sharing my talents with the world and connecting with beautiful people all over.

SO WHAT IS 24?!

24 IS THE YEAR OF SUCCESS, BALANCE, PEACE, AND HARMONY.

2022 IS MY MOST ABUNDANT YEAR

Having friends and a partner who is slightly older than me makes me forget that I am ONLY 24! and this can be whatever I want it to be. I am a powerful creator and I choose my positive reality.

I am extremely proud of myself for the ways I've come and everywhere I'm going.

The world makes me feel like I have to have everything figured out, but it truly is about the journey and I'm going to shake some ass while I'm at it! LOL
