This blog is so very much random. I was sitting in my car early this morning on my break and for about 30 minutes straight I stared at a picture of myself in my phone and just simply reflected over the last 30 years of my life and real particular year 30. I seriously live such an amazing beautiful life. Even in the mist of my trials and tribulations I have been blessed and God has really kept me. I really have it going on in so many areas of my life, (spiritually, financially, personally, academically, mentally/emotionally, and professionally etc). I am still a work in progress and still everyday becoming the BEST version of myself for MYSELF.
I was diagnosed with a mental disorder in December 2020, which I keep close to my heart. I only disclosed with my family for the time being. As I was on the phone with my psychiatrist it took me all of 3 minutes of denying it, by minute 4 I had already googled it on my phone and had accepted it. Since I was in acceptance already by minute 4 I was ready to deal with it head on and get all the treatment I needed. Can I be real with yall for a quick second according to google your girl for sure got a mental disorder and I have ALL the symptoms that is attached with it. No, seriously it may be 1-2 that I don’t have. At this point I am sure you are wondering what I have, but I got yall. I promise at a later date you will get the full story in my first book, stay tuned.
Speaking about my book which bring me to my next point, I was supposed to have finished it by now but life happened and being diagnosed with a mental disorder in the middle of writing it changed some things. In fact it changed a lot as I will be writing about it in my first book. My mental disorder was never apart of my outline, but it definitely for sure go with my story and testimony. Two months after being diagnosed life got super busy for me along with dealing with my symptoms and finding the right medication and treatment options for me.
My busyness consisted of me finishing my last semester of nursing school and graduating with my Bachelors in Nursing. That’s a huge accomplishment. “I am so proud of myself”, is an understatement, I really did that!!! I have the best sister ever, it was all her idea with the help of family and friends bringing her vision to life she wanted to throw me a surprise birthday brunch. It was absolutely fabulous. The love in the room was so real and the decorations was amazing. She also gifted me with some purple roses and $1000.00, her and my mom is the best for doing that. Even after graduation there was still more work that needed to be done, I had to take the Nclex exam. For those that don’t know that is a test to get my nursing license. I took a girls trip to Jamaica, Atlanta, and Texas. I also went on some family vacations to Las Vegas and Chicago. My mom also decided to throw me and my sister a graduation party which was phenomenal, I mean the decorations was beautiful. If you know anything about planning and having a nice set up and event venue that stuff gets real pricey real fast. I appreciate my mom for celebrating her daughter's and really showing us how proud of us she is. I also did 3 photo shoots one for my 30th birthday, my graduation and head shots and my book cover shoot. I also participated in 2 other photo shoots one for my friend clothing line and another colleague for her nursing line. My year 30 was absolutely amazing. 31 is about to be even more beautiful and fabulous in its own unique way. I am ready.
