Saying goodbye to this era

DOCUMENTING MY TWENTIES

The twenties are officially over and it’s time to reflect on who I was at 20 to 29 years old. It took me a long time to reach the point where I value daily self-education from someone who knew nothing. I remember being twenty years old and going to class the next day. I’m twenty-nine years old right now. My twenties was successful based on my values in life. I will never know how hard it is to be a Canadian citizen and a black woman. It is hard to make it in Canada. At the end of my twenties, I had some time and the opportunity to figure out what I wanted in life. I was broken in my twenties and I have no shame right now. I'm not blissed by experiencing those things. Fast forward 9 years later! I’m negotiating a new phase in my life. My age is starting to catch up with me, and I'm still trying to figure things out. I don’t have it all together but I’m enjoying the small moments in my adulthood lifestyle. It was untraditional and I’m not following the rules anymore. It's time to create my own playbook.
