Naturalle Drea

I blinked and now I am in my last year of my 30s believe it or not. I had a really chill and relaxing birthday. I took a long weekend off from work (it was so needed) and just enjoyed time away. I’m not in too much of a reflective mood but just really thinking about the fact that I’ll be 40 soon is crazy and a little scary.

I think this year I just want to enjoy the last of my 30s and have fun. I want to do more and live my life more without fear. I need to really take more days off and just enjoy life.

Okay so let’s rewind here. I started this post towards the end of January and kind of glad I kept this draft and didn’t post it. I had some time to really think about this last year in my 30s and how I really would like to reflect I guess on it. I am still scared that I’ll be entering another decade of life but also super thankful for it. I guess I’ve been in the mindset of reflecting on my 20s and 30s and how I’ve lived my life so far.

I am still figuring things out and that is okay. I thought I would have it all together by now but I don’t lol. I just found a career path that I am loving (Human Resources) and I never imagined that I would be blogging or on Youtube in my life lol. I knew I always wanted to be married and have a family and still hoping to expand it. Im not living my dreams that I set for myself when I was a little Drea to either be dancing professionally like Misty Copeland, having my own dance studio and teaching or have my own hair salon. Well technically I am doing hair…on myself….for YouTube and social media and I would say this blog and everything else I’m managing is like a business (but I’m not making a lot of money from it). I guess my dreams took a bit of a detour in a way and life now is not how I imagined it.

It was a little disappointing but I have to say, I’m starting to enjoy where things are going in life. As my favorite rapper LL Coll J once said “Dreams don’t have deadlines” as many people pointed out to me. I can most likely still have that hair salon or still dance (do TikTok dances count for now lol) or I never know where this content creating/blogging may take me moving forward. It is okay to keep dreaming and manifesting what you want out of life but be prepared on how you receive those things.

I’m just thankful and grateful for life in general and don’t take it for granted at all. You know I’ll have a post in January on what I would love for my 40s (still feels weird saying it lol). Maybe by then I won’t be so scared because there is no avoiding getting older lol.
