Have you ever thought about the things you want to happen in your life by the time you reach a certain age?? I know I have. So much so that Iāve already started working towards them.
1. Have a stronger relationship with God-This is essential!! As you may or may not know I gave my life to Christ 3 years ago and it has been quite the journey if I donāt say so myself. Challenging but by far the best decision Iāve ever made in life. One of these days Iāll share my testimony heās changed my life completely!! Yet I struggle to put him firstš¤¦š½āāļø
2. Love myself more-Ā This is pretty self-explanatory. Growing up with a disability I was teased a lot because of this I struggle with a shit load of insecurities.
3. Read more-Ā Reading has never been my thing itās something Iāve struggled with for years because of my disability. By the grace of god Iām happy to say this is no longer a struggle. However I still hate it and prefer her not to pick one up. I want to change this. I want to make reading a habit. I want to start by reading 3 books a year then gradually increase.Ā (Keep me in your prayers )
4. Meet Chris Brown-Ā Anyone that knows me knows I love this man to death! How could you not I mean just look at that smile!!ā¦ sorry I had a moment lol. Iāve seen him in concert twice but thatās not good enough I wanna be able to hug him and yes Iām telling you now I. Will. Definitely. Ugly Cry.
5. Have my own Houseā My mom and I actually brought a 2 family house 4 years ago this year. However by the time Iām 30 I want have my own!! For some reason she wants me living with her forever smh.
6. Travel outside of my city at leastā Iāve actually been to North or South Carolina when I was about 9 to visit my Great great grandmother for her birthday. She turned 102 that year I believe. However Iāve always wanted to go to Puerto Rico.
7. Have my own business or businesses-Ā Iām not 100% sure what I want to do because if Iām honest Iād do it all but something along the lines of helping people come to Christ. Weāll see what he has in store for me.
8. Attempt to learn how to speak Spanish fluently-Ā I taught myself Spanish as a little girl by simply watching Spanish networks/listening to music all day. For some reason I stopped I understand a little bit but not as much as I used to and Iāve never felt brave enough to speak it. (If you donāt use it you lose it)
9. Become an author-Ā Iām actually working on this now. My first book that is. Only 9 more chapters to write and itās done, ready for the world to read!! To say Iām nervous is an understatement. Iām an open book yes but also very private person. Meaning Iāll tell you anything you want to know about me but at the same time Iām very careful with who and what I share if that makes sense?? So just the thought alone of having both people I know and donāt read about my life is A bit nerve-racking. But hey if me telling my story can help lead someone to Christ or just simply let them know theyāre not alone itās worth it right??
10. Learn to play the piano-Ā So after years and years of asking as a child my mom finally decided to get me a keyboard this past Christmas at 25ā¦better late than never right?? Only problem now is itās not working š„ŗ it was working all January/February but when March came all of a sudden it stopped. They sold her a refurbished already broken keyboard and we canāt take it back because this stupid annoying ass coronavirus wants shut the whole entire world down š¤¦š½āāļø
11. Meet Roman Reignsā yes I am a 25 year old woman who watches wrestling. Although the wrestlers today are not as entertaining or exciting as the ones when I was growing up were there a still a few that manage to get my adrenaline going like Roman reigns. I donāt know what it is about him but every time he steps in the ring Iām fired up. Yelling, screaming, cursing and even shit talking to his opponent as if he could here me through the screen. ridiculous right? I know donāt judge me I told you I donāt know what it is about him that makes me act such a fool. Also he taught me how to believe in what I pray for. For those of you that donāt know back in October 2018 he announced that he was battling leukemia for the second time. Talk about heartbreak. I cried myself to sleep for days and prayed every day and night. On February 25, 2019 exactly 5 months and two days later he announced that the cancer is in remission!! Yāall canāt tell me Jesus aināt real or that prayer doesnāt work!!!
I Challenge you to give Jesus and prayer a try for a month, have an open mind and heart and he will gladly reveal himself to you.
12. Eat healthier-Ā By the grace of god Iām extremely healthy, always have been but my eating is poor. I literally hate almost everything thatās supposed to be good for you except bananas, spinach, grapes, broccoli, cantaloupe and I just started eating oranges again this year after years of not eating them because of the smell. Yes I said smell I hate it!!! It doesnāt make me sick or anything I just hate it šš can you tell how much I HATE the smell of oranges?? Maybe one day Iāll do a rant on why I HATE IT sooo much. Would you guys read??
13. Manage my time effectively-Ā we all have the same 24 hours, itās what we do with them that makes a difference. Iām currently a huge procrastinator as if time waits for me. Knowing good and well that time waits for no man and tomorrow isnāt promised.
14. Learn To Accept Compliments-Ā This ties into numbers2. As I mentioned earlier growing up with a disability I was teased a lot because of this I struggle with a shit load of insecurities. Iām 25 and getting told Iām pretty/ beautiful from a guy is kind of foreign to me. I know I know itās sad.
15. Learn how to network
16. Work on my temper
17. Grow my blog-Ā This may sound a little unrealistic I know but by the time Iām in my 30s I want 2,000,000+ followers on here. Anything is possible with God!!
18. Stop being so hard on myself-Ā Not sure if Iām the only person who does this but when I canāt figure something out on my own I tend to be ridiculously hard on myself.
19. Get a degree in something-Ā I wanted to go to culinary school after high school but sadly things didnāt work in my favor. Maybe Iāll try again in the future.
20. Have patients-Ā patients?? What are those?? Just kidding Iām working on them.
21. Step out of my comfort zone
22. Have excellent credit-myĀ biggest fear is being in a lot of credit card debt so while in high school I made The decision to never gets a credit card. Problem is no one ever told me you literally need credit for almost everything you do. Iām doing good so far.
23. Grow my hair long againā yes this was actually my real hair. Please donāt ask what happened Iām not strong enough to talk about lolā¦seriously it makes me sad.
24. Get in better shape-Ā I wrote a blog about my fitness journey go read and join me if youād like.
25. Meet the man of my dreamsā come on now Jesus Iām ready to settle down!!!
This was supposed to be a 30 by30 bucket list but I couldnāt come of so many
Although I still have a long way to go Iām happy to say that Iām five years away from 30 and about nine of the things on this list are starting to manifest or have already happened! I do understand that I may not accomplish everything by that age but some things are better then nothing at all in my opinion.
