Dear diary, today is my birthday!
Happy 25th birthday to me. A Quarter of a century. Man, God has been good. I am so proud of 24 year old me. For paving the way and being who I needed, my dear 24 year old self, I am eternally grateful for you. I am really excited about the 25th year I’m in. I have no idea why, but it just feels big.
I honestly didn’t picture my 25th birthday being like this. I woke up and realised I am living with a man, a dog and my daughter. At the age of 25, I am noticing that the toilet seat is up, dog poop smells REALLY DIFFERENT from human poop and I have a child that throws tantrums and addresses me in a tone I DO NOT APPRECIATE! Like “excuse me, young lady! I too, have issues of my own”. But there is something about waking up to being the centre of attention. After years of waking up and having it be about my sister and I, for the first time I had a birthday morning of my own. The first in my 25 years of living. I missed my sister though.To make things better, Justin Lakey from The Bachelorette: South Africa wished me a happy birthday. 25 really does look promising. I am looking forward to what the year has to bring. The blessings, the lessons, the opportunities and the love that will come with peace. Here is to new beginnings, greener pastures and genuine laughter.
Love, Rethabile
