When you look in the mirror- and you are facing your true reflection… what do you see? Your past? Present? future?
“There are times in our lives when we have to realize our past is precisely what it is, and we cannot change it. But we can change the story we tell ourselves about it, and by doing that, we can change the future.”
― Eleanor Brown, The Weird Sisters
Reflecting on the past can be a powerful way to understand how it has shaped us into who we are today.
Growing up, the family that I built- instilled in me the values of kindness, empathy, and curiosity.Even though the ones who were suppose to be my protectors failed- I knew the importance of having a strong foundation of support. These early experiences laid the foundation for my compassionate and inquisitive nature, which still guide me today. Throughout my academic journey, I faced challenges that taught me resilience and the importance of perseverance. Each obstacle I overcame helped me develop a strong work ethic and a belief in my ability to overcome any hurdle.
The friendships and relationships I’ve had in my life have taught me the value of connection and the importance of being there for others.
These experiences have shaped me into a caring and supportive friend, always ready to lend a listening ear or a helping hand. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work in diverse environments, which has expanded my perspective and honed my skills. Each job and project has contributed to my knowledge, allowing me to bring a well-rounded approach to my work.
Like everyone, I’ve made my fair share of mistakes. However, I’ve learned that these missteps are valuable opportunities for growth. They have taught me humility, resilience, and the importance of learning from my experiences.
Following my passions or writing- music- education-has been instrumental in shaping who I am today. Whether it’s writing, art, or connecting with others, these pursuits have brought me joy and fulfillment, allowing me to express myself authentically. Reflecting on my past has given me a deeper understanding of myself and the values that guide me. It has allowed me to appreciate the lessons learned, the growth achieved, and the person I have become. Our past experiences, both positive and negative, play a significant role in shaping our present and future.
The future holds so many incredible possibilities, and it fills me with anticipation and excitement. From technological advancements to new opportunities for personal and professional growth, I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of us. Having dreams and goals gives me a sense of purpose and motivation. I’m excited to continue pursuing my passions, exploring new interests, and working towards achieving my aspirations. The future is a canvas waiting to be painted with our dreams, and I can’t wait to see them come to life.
My family that I have made, is my rock, and their love and support bring me immense joy.
Whether it’s spending quality time together, celebrating milestones, or simply sharing laughter, the bond we share is priceless. I look forward to creating more cherished memories with my family in the future.The future holds the promise of growth and development, both individually and as a family. I’m excited to witness the milestones and accomplishments of my loved ones, and to be there for them every step of the way. Together, we can navigate life’s ups and downs, supporting and encouraging one another.
As time goes on, my family and I have the opportunity to create and uphold traditions that will be passed down through generations. Whether it’s holiday traditions, family rituals, or special gatherings, these moments bring us closer and create lasting memories that we can treasure in the years to come.Ultimately, what excites me the most about the future is the love and togetherness that my family brings. Knowing that I have a strong support system and a loving family by my side fills me with hope and optimism. The future holds countless moments of joy, laughter, and shared experiences that I can’t wait to embrace.
The future is full of endless possibilities and the love of my family makes it even more exciting.
I’m grateful for the moments we’ve shared and the moments yet to come. I always said I was going to be a millionaire before I turned 30- and I am on the right track for it. My future has been and will always be bright.
Luv, M.A.R
