The older I get, the more and more accomplishments I see my friends, associates, and coworkers celebrate. It makes me genuinely happy to see them succeed and win! (Shoutout to ya'll!!) However, when you’re not in the place you thought you would be, it’s extremely difficult to remain positive and not grow impatient.
I've heard all of those cliché quotes about how “everybody’s journey is different...” and honestly, even I have shared that same rhetoric with others. But even though comparisons are natural acts, I’ve started to change the narrative...MY narrative. Time is important to me. So I try to remind myself that I have only been on this earth 26 years. But I have grown so much. I’m obviously not the same person I was at 16, and I won’t be the same person I am now at 36. Growth never stops and I have so much ahead of me. Caught up in this whirlwind called life, it’s easy to forget that our life's accomplishments don’t have any specific age limit to them. Nothing in the “Manual of Life” says I should have ‘x’ amount of ‘y’ accomplishments by ‘z’ age. Everybody’s life equation is their own to create and solve. As crazy as it sounds, I’m really starting to look forward to 30. I look forward to seeing where I am and who I’ve become, and what lessons I will learn. The thought of aging is becoming less of a fear and more of beautiful and eventful journey.
