Here I am, 11 days away from turning 30, here to present my manifesto. For I declare there will be no other year like the ones that have passed, and great, fulfilling, amazing, abundant years are to come. Starting with year 30. I am an almost 30-year-old mama, wife to my childhood sweetheart, nurse (LPN), creative (photography, blogging, YouTube, and so on), an African American woman, an ADHD’er, a survivor, a therapized girly pop, a diagnosed depressed, anxious mess, and human. In the days leading up to my 30th birthday, I decided to leave nursing and enrolled in design school, booked my first wedding for my photography business, and have gotten so much work done on the content creation side of my life, where I hope to thrive and receive the majority of my income. I have stressed beyond belief while seeing what’s ahead so clearly and welcoming the amazing change.
This blog post is about life in your 30’s, changing your career in your 30’s, and starting content creation in your 30’s
This manifesto tells you and me why you should stick around and keep up with all this year of 30 has to offer. I’ve decided to master the art of restarting—not the art of consistency but the art of restarting. Let’s be real; there will be times when the dopamine is low, and I fall off. However, I’ve decided that that’s not where my importance and worth lie, but when I restart, my greatness shines bright. I have sought out therapy and a mental health practitioner and started a medication regimen this past year that is slowly healing my brain. Mending the gaps where trauma, chemical imbalances, and heartbreak have been destroyed. I am creating a space for myself here where I can be the best Beez you’ve ever seen. You don’t want to miss it.
I hope to make you laugh and smile, and I look forward to returning for more content. I also hope to laugh with you, remain authentic to you and myself, and make all my dreams come true.
Always, Beez.
