A Letter to my 25 year old self
I just turned 25, and am literally terrified. It just dawned on me that I am responsible for making my own healthy choices, financial path, career, relationships, family and more serious stuff.
I ought to have no excuses as to why I am not doing well, no excuses as to why I am not financially stable or even why I have no healthy relationships with my family that I love dearly.
So what’s my mission this year? To fight fiercely, work passionately, foster healthy boundaries, take time to think about my actions and of course live happily with no regrets.
So many people already have their vision boards and goals set for this year but I haven’t written anything down yet. I keep on postponing and writing them down in my mind rather than on paper.
I thought that I should share some of my goals for the year here on The LuxeGirl Blog so that I can keep myself accountable and maybe help someone else too.
Make Thoughtful choices
It is a goal to stop being an empath and focus on my career path. Yes, I mean it, I have spent most of my life worried about others, how they feel, taking care of everyone around me except me.
Being a Capricorn makes it worse as I tend not to ask for any kind of help or validation from anyone in return. My childhood upbringing did not also make it easier, but that is a story of another day.
Draft a Novel
I am so passionate about writing that I have this inner craving of having my own series of novels that I am the author. It is a working progress since all good things take time, but if I do not start now then when?
I do not want to be regretting 10 years from now. It is not also not too late to start I suppose.
Grow The LuxeGirl Blog
This blog is my baby that I have not been taking care of. I am so proud to have started this journey but also disappointed that I am never consistent, something that I have to work on this year.
I would love to write more on it, grow my audience and find my path that will eventually lead to monetization. Do not get confused, as much as am writing to connect with others and share stories and insights, I would also like to earn from it. Am human😂.
Becoming Financially Independent
Having my own financial stream, being my own boss, and a stable freelancer is crucial for me. Being broke is something I do not want to experience at all. There are so many irrelevant situations that you can avoid when you money to support and take care of yourself.
Get a Driving License
I know, I know, how does a 25 year old not know how to drive or even have a license. Well, I don’t know, I didn’t plan it but life just slipped through my fingers and time did not wait for me.
Work on Physical Appearance
It is now crucial to change my closet and work on my outer appearance. The first thing that people look at when they meet someone for the first time is judge their appearance, how they dress and smell too.
An aesthetic that I would love to work on is the old money wardrobe. Dressing elegantly is non negotiable, especially now that I have mastered my body type and style.
Begin a spiritual and religious journey
I’ll not say much on this for the moment, but I’ll definitely have a lot to say same time next year.
Conclusion
I still have a lot to write , and I may have forgotten some crucial points but this is just the beginning.
I did blow a candle today with my wishes. Guess what? I baked the cake, 😂but ate almost the whole thing before blowing the candle.
Happy 25th birthday to me🌺✨. I am looking forward to the night, having a laid back dinner with my friends that are anything but casual.
