50 is clarity for me

This year has been enlightening. I have experienced so many emotions and encounters.

I have had conversations and sentiments on the deepest most pure levels that I’ve ever had.

Fifty has been litty 🤪🤟🏾 I have had fun with my friends and family.

Traveling has sparked my love for life and learning again. Traveling without interruption or illness, has given me a sense of peace and perspective. Being alone in airports and on airplanes has given me time to people watch, reminisce, reflect, and converse with my inner self.

Fifty has given me clarity…I bought the most appropriate shirt to describe how I feel. It’s my HOE shirt.

Happy Over Everything

Fifty has made me realize that the saying “we are born to die” is true…but it never taught me that when we lose “our” people, we have to learn to pick up the pieces of our shattered self and recreate ourselves.

At fifty, I speak life into myself. Not wants and needs of material things, but wants and needs of legacy and life. Of letting go and loving me. I have learned to value my connections…and to disconnect to what doesn’t bring me peace and joy.

Fifty has reset me to the innocence of a child, combined with the wisdom of experience.

I’m ready for the future. I am so glad I am in this space of discovery and clarity. Things aren’t easy, but I can see the greatness in all of it 💖
