Cheers to 24!


24 is only 6 years from 30. I know, I know, it is still young but, it is definitely not 17! I have always loved the mere thought of aging gracefully, but am I?!!! Don't get me wrong, I am a far from ungrateful, but I guess I'm greedy. I have always wanted it all. Well maybe "all" takes time, more time than 23 years of life. So maybe I shouldn't be looking at turning 24 as A BAD THING! Maybe it is simply a symbol of what's to come which is incredibly good stuff! No fear, 23 was nice, but 24 is bound to be way better! I pray dear God, I reach that glorious year; happy, healthy, and prepared for the inevitable!

  3. Hey lil cuz........I finally made time to check out your site, and I LOVE IT! You really share a lot about your thoughts and feelings. I remember my "24", and I wasn't a very happy person then; however, looking back, I realize I was struggling with myself and how I fit into this world; I learned healthy ways to cope with my depression. I was like a butterfly in a cocoon; without the struggle and growth, I wouldn't be the happy, content, and strong person I am today. In a lot of ways, we mirror each other.......we even have a similar middle name "munsonia" is mine. For what it's worth, I think you are a beautiful person inside and out, intelligent, creative, and driven. You have a lot to offer any friend, employer, or mate. Continue to love yourself and grow gracefully.........Love, Lisa

  4. Lisa,

    Your comment made my life! Not just my day. The most thoughtful, kind, and inspiring words I have heard anyone say in a very long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am so pleased that you found healthy cooping habits for your depression. We all have areas that are gray in our life, so it helps to have outlets and resources that can mold us into better people. You are wonderful. As a family member, you are quite the inspiration in my book: intelligent, kind, beautiful, educated, and always looking for something more in life. I believe you hit the nail right on the head, we are very ins inc with each other which is slightly strange considering the age gap. I have always had a fondness for you because I felt like you were a lone bird, a noble nomad who also was journeying to find a better version of who Wallecea Munsonia Turner is. Just like I, Oriel Monsonique Martin am journeying to find a complete, whole, and utterly peaceful version of myself.I hope you never stop on your journey and when you get that eternal peace and feel completely centered and whole, I want you to write about it because your life is a book that would be more than interesting BUT A MASTERPIECE! I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.

    FONDLY,
    ORIEL MARTIN
