Approaching 30 and what it means to me

Hey ladies and gents, it's ya girl Untouched Jewel in the place to be!

I know I already wrote a post prior to this one, but so what?! It's my blog and I can do such a thing! LOL.

Anywho, my birthday will be here in exactly 3 weeks as of tomorrow (July 5th), and I am more than excited to celebrate it. I am ready to celebrate this birthday so much, because this is a milestone for me on a personal note. After dealing with illness, bad relationships and even other personal struggles of my own in my 20's, I'm more than willing to embrace another decade to make sure I got this thing called life right.

I'm now to a point where I don't have the time and patience of dealing with the same b.s. I used to tolerate over the past 10 years or so. That part of me is over and done with. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry or bitter in any way possible. One thing is for certain I'm not the person to cross or get sideways with. I have  a side to me that is absolutely vicious, and it ain't nothing nice to see at all. And yet there's the passive side of me that will do any and all possible to avoid conflict and animosity at all costs. I don't like that either. I'm doing my best to find a balance within myself, because my moods will go into one extreme or another. DON'T GET IT TWISTED FOLKS, I'M NOT BIPOLAR OR SCHIZO. I DON'T TAKE MEDICATION. LOL.

 I'm grateful to God that he has allowed me to see 30 years of my lifetime despite challenges, heartbreak and adversity. I'm also grateful that I was blessed to give birth to two of the most precious gifts given to me: my sons. They are smart, bright and adorable (and I'm not saying that because they are my kids either). They each bring their own spark of personality, and creativity that makes them who they are. I wouldn't trade my boys for anything in the world. Without them, my life wouldn't be the same. They have both carved out their own little footprints in my heart, and make my life just that much more interesting by keeping me on my toes when I really want to sit down. But in the end, it's all worthwhile.

In conclusion, I hope the next 3 decades are spent with purpose and meaning to where everything in my life is fully in place and I will be at peace with me and my family (my children). Thinking back on what I've been through, if it had not happened, it wouldn't have made me who I am now. I wouldn't have learned the lessons I had to painfully or successfully learn. But I hope to at least pass that gem of wisdom along to someone else, be it a woman my age or younger. I'm sure they will thank me for me it along the way.

But in the meantime, I'm gearing up to celebrate the big 3-0 in my own fashion. THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS!

Until Next Post,
Peace and Blessings,
