finding my way

So I made a post a few days ago talking about how now that I am 30 I became a little bit more depressed and a lot more lost in my journey because I feel like I have no direction. I still may feel that way right now, but I am learning to find my way.

Part of finding my way is going through this identity crisis. For so long I was always been the girl that all the guys looked at sexually, wanted to hook up with, the girl that party and was just always on the scene. The older I get the more I lose connection with myself. I get on social media and I see soft girl era, the cottage core, the Boho, the modest, the free Spirit is so much more. And honestly, I don’t know where to categorize myself. I don’t have to be subject to just 1 type aesthetic. But I want to figure out who I am and what I like. So the first stop on my 30 & thriving is figuring out who I am on the outside, figuring out who I am on the inside is the hardest work and the longest journey, and we will touch that another post 😌 #findingyourself

... Read moreTurning 30 can be a transformative period, prompting many to reflect on their identities and life choices. It's common to encounter an identity crisis, especially when societal norms and expectations evolve. In a world full of diverse aesthetics, from the soft girl era to cottagecore to boho styles, embracing one's true self can feel overwhelming. Understanding that we aren't limited to just one aesthetic is liberating. Instead, we have the potential to blend and create a unique blend that resonates with our true selves. Engaging with social media can intensify these feelings, as we often compare our lives and experiences with those showcased online. Finding inspiration in various trends is fine, but the ultimate goal should be self-acceptance and authenticity. As we embark on this journey of self-discovery, it's crucial to give ourselves grace and patience. Each of us is on a unique path, and there’s no rush to define who we are. It's about embracing the process of exploration and self-expression. Delve into different interests, experiment with styles, and connect with communities that resonate with your journey. In embracing who we are, we learn to love ourselves beyond societal labels, giving ourselves room to grow and change. Remember, it’s okay to feel lost; it’s part of finding your way again. So, let’s celebrate our journey towards understanding ourselves better while navigating the complexities of adulthood.

Finding my way back to Christ ✨
It’s been a long time coming. Don’t know where to begin? I found this method to be helpful. I’m starting with John because it emphasizes the identity of Jesus, his role and personal relationships with people. #blackgirlchristian #christaingirlies #embracevulnerability #fyp #christian

Finding Strength in His Embrace 🩷🙏🏾
When you’re feeling weak, trusting in God can be like a warm hug on a tough day. It’s okay to lean on Him when you’re not feeling strong—His strength shines through when we’re at our lowest. When you put your faith in God, you’ll find that He has a way of turning those heavy moments into something

MY FAVORITE TIP FOR FINDING CHEAP FLIGHTS
