"Today is the oldest you've been and the youngest you'll ever be again"
The prospect of leaving my 20's behind has caused me a lot of sleepless nights. It made me reevaluate my life and I didn't like what I discovered. I have no husband, no kids and I'm solely focused on my career. I have nothing to call my own at this stage and when I look at my peers they have all that and then some. It nearly send me into a downward spiral until I realized that we don't have the same goals in life. Others wanted a family, I'm not sure if I want that right now. A while ago I wrote a piece entitled "10 Things to do in your 20's" and I solely based it on what I want, not what society expect me to do. I feel that it's important to know what you want out of life so you won't be steamrolled into something that your peers want. I'm turning 30 this month and I'll try to embrace it as best as I possibly can. I will try to celebrate it as it's a milestone, a miracle that I've made it this far with all the wrong decisions I've taken. I'm fearless in my approach and that's why I absolutely love and relate to the cover piece by Thaakirah. It's entitled Ice Angel and I love the fierceness it represent. I will feature her work on my cover for the next few months; hope you will love it as much as I do.
