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 ‘older’ and ‘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.

{November} Sunday Currently

Sunday Currently, I have not done one of these posts in a long time and figured it was long overdue. I do love doing tag posts but because I am so lazy I end up forgettting about them. First Sunday in November, I can already see how busy this month is going to be: work, blogging and university.

Writing this Sunday Currently post has honestly given me a moment to think about things in my life. There are so many things I want to do, so many I want to same and so much I want to keep. Yet life is not like that, I am embracing the lesson of living in the moment. Planning is an essential part of me and though I won’t be forgoing that, I will just embrace the present more.

With that in mind, here is my Sunday Currently post for your reading pleasure

Sunday Currently

  • Reading: European Union Risk Managment Plans, yes that is work related I don’t have time to read anything else.
  • Writing: This post and a few others, I am hoping to schedule my posts for atleast 2 weeks.
  • Listening: Justin Timberlake’s What goes around comes around and Mirrors, not sure why but JT is speaking to me atm.
  • Thinking: About the past, they say in your 20’s you should make all your mistakes. Because 30’s you should have your sh*t together. Looking back to my early 20’s and I was ‘too good’ for my own good and though no regrets. I wonder if in my 30’s I wil actually have it all together. In my heard more than physically, physically there are too many obstactles that we all go through.
  • Smelling: Nothing, blocked nose.
  • Wishing: I could get my act together and finish my university assignment so I can enjoy Milan this Friday.
  • Hoping: I will finish the assignment before Wednesday and Submit Wednesday so I can pack for my trip
  • Wearing: The most comfortable clothes on planet earth, my PJs. I am a happy bunny when I am in my PJs.
  • Watching: Catching up on the Blacklist, I am 2 seasons behind not sure how that happened but binging it is.

And there you have it, my Sunday Currently in a nutshell. How is your Sunday so far?

      Busy is an understatement but once I hand in my assignments I will have some more free time

    I absolutely love this tag…really good at giving a snapshot of your life. Might be one I turn to myself, although we don’t blog on a Sunday but it’s a great way to have structure to the writing. I have to say I would struggle to read something work related in my spare time. I also hope you get well soon xx
