As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I s As I enter the final year of my 30s, I thought I share with you some pictures of mine at 9 months, 9 years, 19 years, 29 years  to today 39 years old of age. Looking back at each decade, I feel both ā€˜older’ and ā€˜younger’, I see the change in my features, the change in my way of life, the change in my personality and the experience itched on my face. I am grateful for the life I have lived thus far and excited for the life I am yet to live. 
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

2026 - 39, (Home, England), I am ready for this final year before my 40s but also ready for this next decade. 
2016 - 29, (Oslo, Norway), this decade was about self discovery and building the life I dreamt about. The life that I am super proud of and truly grateful to be living. This decade, I built my financial life and in later years choose to heal from the trauma gained in the last decade and now I feel well equipped for the future. 
2006 - 19, (Glasgow, Scotland), I thought I was grown (look at the cheekbones 🤣🤣) and ready for the world, chiiiild was I wrong, let’s just say, I am still resolving the trauma the decade brought me but I am grateful because I met my best friends and made decisions for the future I wanted to have. (Spoiler alert - I did better than I dreamed). 
1996 - 9, (Home, Zambia) this was my birthday but my little sister insisted she had to be the one in the middle. The only way we knew whose birthday it was, was by standing in the middle but this year I remember baby sister crying her eyes out and refusing 🤨
1988 - 9 months, (Chililabombwe, Zambia) although my mother looks tired and traumatised😟, I know I was loved and happy.

Live Life & Love #8

cover ttHi there & welcome to the eighth installment of my series 3L’s (live life & love) which features not only my happenings of the ending week but more often than not my happenings on my second blog ā€œA walk in Myrabev’s shoesā€ AKA ā€œmyrabev’s cornerā€ as well as if not the entire month. If you missed the seventh installment you can find it HERE.

//Live

All things considered this has been pretty good, I am in a happy place. Made new friends and life has taken a new direction and though I am scared I am very excited too. I will soon be celebrating my 1 year of blogging and there is so much I want to share but so little time.

//Life

Well which ever way you look at it life sometimes suck but I believe its how you deal with it that makes all the difference in the world. You can not be a negative person and expect positive things to happen in you life, so my stance is be happy with the life you have and stop comparing as you do not know what they have sacrificed to have what they have.

for the 3Ls//Love

So much advise and so many personal opinions on what should and should not be done but at the end of the day its my decision and since I can sleep with 90% of my decisions I think I will trust me more and if I am wrong well we all learn from our mistakes/experiences.

***If people would like for me to create a live life & love linky then let me know as I get asked a few times and I want to know what my readers want***

      I was listening to a song called “Brown grass” as opposed to green grass and was just inspiring me to not thing the grass is greener on the other side but rather is fine right here
