“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”— Malala Yousafzai

I read this quote and it’s exactly what I needed. Sometimes you compare yourself to others and think that you are running behind, but you aren’t. We are all on our own journey, and what we do before we reach the finish line is what counts. Age does not matter, it’s just a number.

I’m almost 30 and I don’t know what my future holds for me, but right now I have a dream. A dream to reach others and let them know that they are not alone and that things will get better. I have a dream to make a difference, to impact lives positively and to spread happiness. I have a dream of wanting to be known as a girl who made a change, who stood up for what she believed in and didn’t apologise for it. I have so many dreams, and I’m not too old to have them, in fact I think I am at the perfect age for this. Getting older has given me some confidence, made me less worried about what others think, and I have found comfort in that. Yes I have my bad days – but hey who doesn’t. My bad days does not define me. What I want, who I want to be, the changes I want to make – that defines me.

A few years ago I would never have started a blog, a YouTube channel, aTikTok and Instagram account. I’m thankful that I waited, everything happens when it should and on time and I’m going to try and keep that in mind, when days are dark and clarity doesn’t seem to exist in my mind.

Write down your thoughts, express yourself and remind yourself that good days are not far away. Things will get better, and don’t put a timeline on it. You are never too old for a new goal, or new dream.

Until next time, you are important, you are valued, you matter, you are beautiful and most importantly you are loved.
