Birthday reflections




A year goes by pretty fast. It feels like yesterday when this day came round. I think a birthday is the perfect time to reflect.

I have grown a whole lot this past year and I am grateful for that. I have learned things they don't teach in classrooms; things money cannot buy, things that can't be forgotten. Alhamdulillah!

I used to admire certain traits in many people I see on social platforms. I realized that I have such traits within me that is why I was able to recognize it in them and all I need is to work on being better.

As an introvert to the core, I have encountered many problems. I keep wanting to remain in my comfort zone even though that impossible most times. Despite how hard I work to stay in my shell, the art oozes out. It is evident here on this blog. I have failed and lost focus so many times but Alhamdulillah I am still persistent. I want it to work and I'm ready to spend however long it takes.

It is evident in my writing account on instagram @meenahtu99 where I share my scribbles with the world.
It is shows in my lifestyle account (@99_lifestyle) where I post basically anything and everything that catches my eye. It is evident in my new found love for photography. It is evident in 'Treasures and thorns' (my wattpad story). No matter how hard I try I can't seem to contain it and I am grateful for that.

Growing up has been one of the most challenging tasks ever. I think the struggle shows even in my posts on this blog. I've been trying hard to find my niche, to keep going despite the challenges.

Cheers to another year of trying to re-set, re-adjust, re-focus and re-start!
