Every 21st day of the month of September
Is when I mark off another complete year I have lived
And start off another year of living
And 2019 is when I turned 27
My 26th year on earth
Has been a very challenging one
I just might even conclude that by far, it has been the most challenging and interesting of them all
Dealing with anxiety, carrying on my rebellion against oppression and injustice of any form, learning more, blogging more and being able to earn something from it
This year has had me understanding more of how things can be, how they are and how they should be
And I must admit I made many decisions about how I wanted to handle these revelations
On some days, it all turned to be troublesome
But like they say….”sleep over it and let’s see about it tomorrow”,
I knew exactly what to do!
My anxiety this year, hasn’t been so bad
To say
Compared to what it was like in 2018
Panic attacks and worry were the order of the day for weeks and days on
This year, we’ve been more of smiles and laughter….just like my biography says
Also, this is the year when I carried on with this thing I started in 2017
Of putting myself first before anything else
Everybody else comes second
Selfish, if you say but so worth it, if you ask me!!!!
I am living a more conscious life now
Taking a much deeper interest in history…both mine and that of other people
Fighting to see that we all have a system that works for us all….rich or poor, white or not….
Appreciating what I have and making the most of it all!
How can I forget about my ever increasing love and appreciation for reggae music and culture?
My blog, too
The power that I hold as a person
What all that means put together!
All this said,
More food, more life, more consciousness, more love
More therapy of every form, more joy, more reggae
Everything…MORE!!!!
Let’s see how this 27th goes!
