The Big Two-Five

Holy shit, I am 25.




Well I am about to be, I am currently 4 days out and I tell ya I am two minds in counting down to it.


In the one mind I am excited, I get to see my family, spend the day with my boy and the night with my closest friends. I get to have my present and I get to have a day nearly a whole weekend all about me. I love my birthday it is the best time of the year I literally celebrate it the entire month long. If you have been following me on Instagram or you are apart of my daily life you will already know this about me. I literally drop my birthday into nearly every conversation. It makes me that excited to get to my birthday.


So that is why I am so confused?


Why am I even in a second mind about my birthday?


W E L L


I am turning 25 and I am having a quarter life crisis.



Heading into the year 2019 I knew that I wanted to be better for myself personally that is why I started blogging I wanted to document my whole journey I wanted to sit down and really reflect at my weeks and I wanted to know at the end of 2019 that I had made some progress.


However here I am a few days short of turning 25 and also hitting the middle of the year and I really do not know if I have made any progress at all. It certainly does not feel like it.


Like damn son, I am still fat.




I feel like this really has come at a good time as I am able to reflect on how the first 6 months of the year have gone and really sit down and take a long hard look in the mirror to see how I can make my goals more attainable and really get down to business with achieving some of these goals.


It is crazy to think how much your life can change in literally the course of the day and over the past 6 months I have been doing a lot of reading especially on twenty something and health and nutrition. The one thing that I seem to read quite a lot and by a lot of different people is that it is in your habits and your daily decisions that you will see that is where your life starts to change. Eating well daily, going to the gym daily, reading daily, saving money daily is right where your life starts to change and you start to achieve your goals.



Eating well and going to the gym for one week is not going to answer all your health problems for a year, reading one book does not make you the smartest person in the room.


It is doing all of these things daily or the things that you deem personally needed for your own life daily is where you really start to see some changes in your own life.


So it was with my own daily and personal habits that I began to look and I could literally feel my quarter life crisis start to fade away and my drive, determination and excitement for the coming months return.




I know where I want to be at the end of the year and I have just had 6 months of trial and error, good weeks and bad weeks and I think from my current reflection I have worked out exactly what works well for me personally and what does not.
