Birthday Goddess

Posted on December 8, 2019

Share

It’s officially my 34th birthday and there is so much that I have been reflecting on that I have to share with you all. I’m always honest and real but I today I am going a bit deeper.  Every year on my birthday I take some time to analyze and reflect.  I think about where I am currently at in my life, what I have been through and where I still want to be.

Es oficialmente mi 34 cumpleaños y hay tantas cosas que he estado reflexionando que tengo que compartir con todos ustedes. Siempre soy honesto y real, pero hoy voy un poco más profundo. Todos los años, en mi cumpleaños, me tomo un tiempo para analizar y reflexionar. Pienso en dónde estoy actualmente en mi vida, en lo que he pasado y dónde todavía quiero estar.

Honestly speaking being in my 30s scares me sometimes. Though I’ve learned to fully embrace it and thankfully I don’t look and or feel my age. 34 is just a number that marks how long I’ve been blessed to have life. But than there are moments when reality hits…”Ok. Wow. I’m in my 30s”. That reality hits even more when “society” wants to bombard you with their view on where you’re supposed to be in life. When I was in my 20s, I had a picture of what I believe life was going to be. If you would of asked me at 20 where I thought I’d be in 5-10 years my answer would of been married with kids. Now I think about that and laugh. As time went on the picture I had for my life completely changed.  I had this timeline of events in my head for when I thought that things were going to happen, but we cannot plan out our lives. 

Hablando honestamente, tener 30 años a veces me asusta. Aunque he aprendido a abrazarlo por completo y afortunadamente no me veo ni siento mi edad. 34 es solo un número que marca cuánto tiempo he tenido la suerte de tener vida. Pero hay momentos en que la realidad golpea … “Ok. Guau. Tengo 30 años “. Esa realidad golpea aún más cuando la “sociedad” quiere bombardearte con su visión de dónde se supone que debes estar en la vida. Cuando tenía 20 años, tenía una imagen de lo que creía que iba a ser mi vida. Si me hubieras preguntado a los 20 años dónde pensaba que estaría en 5-10 años, mi respuesta habría sido casada con hijos. Ahora pienso en eso y me río. Con el paso del tiempo, la imagen que tenía para mi vida cambió por completo. Tenía esta línea de tiempo de eventos en mi cabeza para cuando pensaba que las cosas iban a suceder, pero no podemos planificar nuestras vidas.

My lifestyle and the choices that I’ve made are completely opposite from the people surrounding to me. While just about every single friend of mine is married, engaged with kids, I’m living a very different life. It’s not that I don’t want those things for myself, but I’m still chasing after some dreams and I need to do it on my own. By making those choices I’ve been accomplishing so much. Every day I become a stronger and more empowered woman. After always working for others there was something I always had very clear to myself. I knew that I never wanted a regular 9-5 job and I was so adamant about it.  I always knew no matter the struggles I wanted to be my own boss. I’m not a conformist. I’ve always wanted more in life and have fought alone to accomplish my goals. Well not completely alone because God has always been with me.

Mi estilo de vida y las elecciones que he hecho son completamente opuestas a las personas que me rodean. Mientras que casi todos mis amistades están casados, comprometidos con niños, estoy viviendo una vida muy diferente. No es que no quiera esas cosas para mí, pero todavía estoy persiguiendo algunos sueños y necesito hacerlo por mi cuenta. Al tomar esas decisiones, he estado logrando mucho. Todos los días me convierto en una mujer más fuerte y empoderada. Después de trabajar siempre para otros, había algo que siempre tuve muy claro para mí. Sabía que nunca quise un trabajo regular de 9-5 y estaba muy firme al respecto. Siempre supe sin importar las luchas que quería ser mi propia jefa. No soy conformista, siempre he querida más en esta vida y lo he logrado todo luchando sola. Pues no completamente sola porque Dios siempre ha estado conmigo.

If you would have told me back then that I would be working for myself as a full time blogger, digital strategist and manager I definitely would have laughed at you because years ago I had another vision for my life. Today this is my reality and a reality I love.  This year my empire as grown so much. All of my struggles and tears were worth it all.

Si me hubieras dicho en aquel entonces que estaría trabajando para mí como blogger, estrategias digital y manejadora de bloggers a tiempo completo, definitivamente me habría reído de ti porque hace años tuve otra visión para mi vida. Hoy esta es mi realidad y una realidad que amo. Este año mi imperio creció mucho. Todas mis luchas y lágrimas valieron la pena.

With these 34 years of life experience here are some life lessons I continuously learn:
Con estos 34 años de experiencia de vida, aquí hay algunas lecciones de vida que aprendo continuamente:

  1. Choose your happiness always. Elige tu felicidad siempre.
  2. Do not force anything. If you have to force it, then it’s not meant to be. No fuerces nada. Si tienes que forzarlo, entonces no es para ti.
  3. It is OK to put yourself first. You can’t forget to make yourself a priority and take care of YOU. Está bien ponerte en primer lugar. No puedes olvidarte de ser una prioridad y cuidarte.
  4. Surround yourself with those who truly want to see you win. Rodéate de aquellos que realmente quieren verte ganar.
  5. Not everyone has good intentions. Always, always follow your instincts. No todos tienen buenas intenciones. Siempre, siempre sigue tus instintos.
  6. Know your worth and never, ever compromise your value. Conoce tu valor y nunca lo comprometas.
  7. Don’t strive for perfection. Strive for authenticity. No luches por la perfección. Lucha por la autenticidad.
  8. Travel alone. It’s the best experience to know yourself better. Viaja sola. Es la mejor experiencia conocerte mejor.

So, as I reflect on chapter 34 of my life I can honestly say life keeps getting better. To celebrate my 34th birthday I did it in goddess style thanks to “Flying Dress PR”.
