In the last 35 years of my life, I have gained a little insight about life in general. Like many of you, I’m a forever student in this thing called life. Reaching my new 36th age is a humble reminder of how long and how short life really is. I am blessed to have made it this far, yet there’s still so much ahead. As a tribute to life, here’s my take on some of life’s lessons. Also, life can’t be really summarized in just 16 points ……
- Allow your intuition to have a voice too. Perhaps, listen to it a little more.
- Kindness and Gratitude are everything. You don’t ever need a reason for either.
- Life is transformative – It’s okay to feel lost or feel like you don’t know what you’re doing with your life — you’re not expected to have it all figured out because it’s a process. What’s important, however, is that you don’t use “being lost” as an excuse to sit in stagnation. It’s important that you toil in the language of action more than that of contemplation and thought.
Over the past years, I have written letters to myself on my birthday. I love looking back at these letters and see what has changed across the years. These letters are important. They allow me to see things clearly. I delve better insight into my emotional patterns. My motivations. My struggles. Anything really. They allow me to talk to my past self, present self, and future self. However, today, two days after my 34th birthday, I am not writing a letter to myself. I am writing this letter to you, yes YOU who keeps hounding me (read women) with the “when are you getting married”, “when are you having children” or “at least have a child” questions/statements. Get a seat, grab some coffee or whatever it is that you love! We have some talking to do…… While I will publish this on my blog, I chose to post it directly on my Facebook page. It is a tad long, but I hope you can read till the end. Please do… 
Tomorrow 27th March, I turn 33!
Dear a-little-bit-lost, a-little-bit-broken but still strong, soon to be 32-year-old self,
