My dread about this remarkable upcoming event could not prevent it from arriving – are you wondering why I’m referring to my birthday in such a manner? By Friday this week, the big thirty-one will become my age, surprising as it may seem, I’m not mindful about it. Do you think the reason is that my looks and feelings are better compared to my twentieth birthday?
On the other hand, could it be as a result of my ability to make almost everything available for my kid. It may be attributed to the fact that my associates are those who took note of my special skills and produced a sense of fulfillment in me in various ways. What I’m trying to say is this; the horror many people anticipate as they approach this age did not hit me as I envisaged.
It is now very clear to me, why many women would refer age thirty as the new twenty. It’s great to know that at present, women are waking up to the realization that clock or calendar is not a determiner of real life; true life starts when a woman’s life is clothed with confidence.
Usually, the later years of one’s life give birth to this type of confidence. A stage comes in life, when realization hits us that the feeling of completeness does not come from, or is not influenced by somebody else. You stop measuring your self-worth basing on someone else’s input. No doubts, a relationship can make some additions to one’s life, but it is not a determining factor of your real value.
Self-esteem is either built or destroyed in childhood. For some women, their environment during childhood provided full support (moral, financial, etc.); for some other women, the opposite is the case. Although I have to travel through the road of building confidence on my own, it was a journey worthwhile. Initially, it seemed like something to complain about; however, it produced unimaginable growth for me in countless ways.
Mind you, every tear is eventually accompanied with laughter! Thankfully, my experience in life has taught me to transform ill feelings to good ones. Through my experience, God has blessed me with the inner gift of not given up on looking for the silver lining no matter how upsetting the situations seem. Bad situations never dictated the pace for me – I strive earnestly to keep a positive attitude towards life. My spirit keeps glowing even in the darkest moments.
So, right now, I walk towards becoming a wiser woman and also fight old-looking features with all fierceness. God alone be thanked for anti-aging creams, make-up and lemonade diet. And of course, impact of fashionable clothes cannot be overemphasized – killer shoes and great complementing accessories should not be taken for granted either.
Although there are still goals I need to attain, I can still look around me and affirm that I’m a content and complete being. Come to think of it, whatever you think of life, that’s exactly what it becomes for you. Right now, what is filling my perspectives are great things, and I’m optimistic that great things are on the way!
