Everything My Twenties Taught Me.

Woman.

Here we are - my last few days as a 20-something. I look back in awe at everything I’ve accomplished and experienced over the last 10 years. I’ve been overwhelmingly blessed and count it all joy. The final chapter of Eventually, Everything. is the culmination of the experiences I detail in this book. It’s the current moment, paying homage to the past and making way for the future.

Forgiveness, granting grace, loving, letting go, admitting faults, embracing change and growth have been major themes in my 20’s. Had these things I express through my poetry not transpired, I wouldn’t be so ready for this new phase of life. Now, the focus is alignment, abundance, softness, creativity and freedom. We no longer live in survival mode, we are thriving and blocking anything that threatens our peace. Honestly, I’m really looking forward to feeling like a “grown woman” and I’m hoping 30 is like everything Beyonce´ sang in that song (lol).

But really, this past year has already helped me transform and feel ready for this new decade. I’m growing more precise with how I show up in the world: What do I want people to feel when they experience me? How can I make the world better? What do I want my energy to say about me when I’m not even in the room?

I feel like I’m on the brink of some major things, which is intimidating - but I’m not afraid of the unknown anymore. I’m letting every variable fall where it may - this is what operating from faith looks like. I trust that the universe is conspiring on my behalf.

When I reflect on the best things that have happened for me, its not the direct relationships or memories I’ve made, but the lessons I’ve learned in this decade that have prepared me for moving closer and getting deeper with my destiny and purpose. Now, I’m more intentional with my energy and my time - I’m walking a more disciplined path that has allowed everything to start flowing toward me. I’ve never been more in tune with what my body needs and how to nurture my spirit.

It feels good to know that the woman I want to be is still ahead of me, that I truly only get better with time. I’m working on my mystique, my allure, and feminine energy. I’m attracting the best - the love of a lifetime, luxurious and adventurous living. I’m manifesting wealthy interior and exterior worlds - a life where my art affords me a living and I have total autonomy over my time, my body and schedule. God exists in everything and everything I touch, works.

Thank you to every soul that took this ride with me - those that changed and shaped my perspectives, that have shown and taught me love, and those that remind me of my worth. Thank you God, for my gifts and blessing me with the vision to make my reality whatever I dream.
