When I was younger, I thought I would have figured everything out by 25. I thought 25 was OLD. I envisioned myself being the best that I could be, without fears and insecurities. And now that I am 25, indeed in my quarter-life, it feels like I am only at the beginning of this big roller coaster ride, and I begin to wonder where I'll be in a year or two. It's only been a few years since I entered "the real world" and I sometimes worry if I can handle all the stresses and uncertainties a person is required of to "grow up." This transition to adulthood brings up a lot of anxieties, like financial independence, choosing a career, starting a family and aging!
In this process of discovering myself, I am beginning to understand what I want and do not want. I learned to embrace change, and to take this as a time of opportunity of adventure and exploration. I may have a lot of down days, but I'll take heart and treat this as a part of growing up. To put my best foot forward, I will make sure that I put out my best self and inspire positivity and build my life step by step. A lot of exciting things happen everyday, and I have no choice but to move forward or stay where I am.
My appearance has also started to change, my first gray hairs, putting on a lot of extra weight, lines and crow's eyes, rough skin texture, sagging skin, dullness, open pores, dry skin and age spots! These can hamper my confidence.
Together with a happier disposition, healthy living and self-enrichment, I am less insecure, and I feel like I can take on any challenge that gets my way. I feel less in a rush and I lea rn to enjoy each day. I know that I still have long years ahead, and I pray that I can take on the challenges that will come to me someday.
I am currently battling with obesity and it is not an easy journey. I'm afraid that with the pounds I melt away, my skin will become really saggy, especially in the face, neck, tummy and arm areas. I am not wishing for supermodel-firm skin. I just want to improve what I already have. Do you have any suggestions for me?
