Birthday Girl

I turned 25 this past week, it was a good birthday. I got to spend time with my family and friends. I received a really great birthday present from some really great people. I have been wondering what this new chapter means for me. Mostly, I am excited to put all my new knowledge into practice. I looked back and realized a few things that have changed about me..

I now prefer a fruit smoothie to a rum and coke;
a platter of roasted vegetables to any kind of roasted meat.
I love the sunny and the rainy days so that everyday is a beautiful one.
I try to look at the things I do have so that there is no room to focus on the things I don't have.
I prefer my men spiritual instead of rich, gorgeous, or well meaning.
It only takes a good 15 minutes of sunlight on my skin to relax me, instead of a blunt.

Life is good. It's so good. I do well to remember the the lessons I have learned and how far I have come. I'm still walking, still growing, and still changing; as well as I can help it, that will never stop.  I have evolved even more rapidly over the last couple months and though it was rough on me I see even brighter and clearer now. I thank all my mentors and teachers for seeing through to this point. I'm an adult and no, my age doesn't determine that but I feel like I have moved passed adolescence and have become a beautiful woman from the inside out.
Peace and love...
