A Girl Who Have Grown Bold Enough, To Love And Value Herself.

Life have been really fast and every new phase have been a mix of joy , confusion, sadness and fulfillment, but then I'm grateful and thankful for every phase and moment.
Looking back at the years I spent , I have had support, love , regrets, made mistakes, experience sweet and sour moments, good and bad day too .

Looking back at 15 to 20years ago, I might not have all the details, because for most of these years , I was a just a small girl, that was depending on her parents and knew nothing about the whole life ahead of me, all I had was dreams, aspirations and so much to be curious about.
For the most I can vividly remember, I have learnt, relearn and unlearn alot as I keep growing .
Each day comes with different packages, each place you visit comes with a new knowledge and lessons to learn, my decisions and career choices have taught me to to be strong, even when the future looks hazy, my choice of friends have taught me to love myself everyday and embrace growth over stagnation.

I use to be that child with so many dreams and life expectations, but moving from my career choice to a different career that I had zero passion for changed everything about me , it was my first life lesson, it taught me to reduce my expectations, initially I was that child that believed I can get and be anything I wanted, a change in career, was my first life lesson and I learnt to adapt to what ever life throws at me, learnt to put my best in what ever I lay my hands to do regardless of what I feel about it.
As each years passes by changes occur gradually, not just physically, but then in other ways we can't see.

I'm very proud of the fact that I'm now a bold girl, that understand her self worth, I can stand to my fears, address situations and shun stupidity without shaking now , one of the struggles I had as a child and a teenager was being shy , being that girl that didn't appreciate herself, I waited for other people to tell me how good I look, before I see it.
Waited for people's validation, before making decisions.
But now I appreciate myself better and I'm very proud of my insecurities and flaws.
Physically, spiritually, mentally and otherwise.
I'm grown and I have learnt lessons from school, work , mentors and friends and the society.
I'm still open to learn more too, because learning never ends.

Alot of experiences and knowledge have shaped me positively, and I have come to realize that life is full of experience, that makes us stronger or weaker.
I have learnt that your circle of friends matters alot, you should be very selective with the people you associate with.
Life lessons and experience like dealing with an entitled and ungrateful friend , have really helped me in choosing friends wisely now , I have learnt that it's better to not have a friend, than friends that think you owe them .

I have learnt that it's more important to focus on your job, business and hustle.
Appreciate and love family because that's all you have, they are the only real ones around you.

If my younger self sees me she won't recognize me, she will be proud of my boldness now, because timidity really dealt with her.
She would appreciate my hardworks , ability to love , value, accept and stand for myself.
The strength to accept and make the best of unexpected changes and the ability to make the right choices and friends .

Thanks for reading ♥️
