31 Years Feels Like 31 Days

Hi guys, I just turned 31! The perfect opportunity to write a blogger note. I know it's been a while since I published these. Of course, your patience always pays off! Here on Story Time, we've shed our skin many times. It's the same story in my life. These 31 years feel like 31 days! I just can't believe how quickly they went by. Hopefully, this blog and my writing will leave behind my legacy when I complete my time on this earth.😀 But since we're celebrating life, I'd appreciate it if you'd subscribe to my Story Time blog for more foodie and travel adventures.😍 As I'm starting a new year, I look forward to the future. Last year was quite challenging for me. 😓😌But despite those obstacles, I persevered. It just isn't in my nature to give up. Someday, I know it will all be worth it! If I didn't have faith in myself or my creations, I would have given up on my Story Time blog a long time ago. I often discuss self-love on my blog. Well, I never said it was an easy journey. What adventures don't have a plot twist? It takes a great deal of strength and courage to show yourself love during the storm. Sometimes I wonder why it's so easy to give love away to those we care about, yet so hard to drown ourselves in it. As I ask you guys to keep me in your prayers as my birthday gift, my thoughts can't help but slip away. There is so much I've learned and still have to learn from life. We each have to embrace our journey and accept the fact that we can't control everything. As I embark on my upcoming adventures, I hope that the universe will be kind, tender, forgiving, and understanding towards me. After all, life is so short! This realization inspires me to unleash even more of my creativity. 😊 You'll get to experience this more on my Story Time blog in the future. As a writer, I've grown through practice. Incorporating my videos into blog posts has helped me refine my storytelling skills. Each day, I get to learn something new while practicing this talent of mine. I learned from my mistakes, and as you can see, my blog continues to grow. If you love something, you need to nurture and nourish it like a plant to allow it to blossom. I have a strong desire to see myself bloom as well. That's why moving forward, I'll be applying three more self-love lessons to my life. I learned to put myself first, to practice stronger boundaries, and that the right people come into your life for a reason.At times, I've had moments where I've felt overwhelmed by my life. However, I learned to communicate my feelings effectively. Choosing for my well-being isn't a sin! Knowing who to trust is a gift. Having the wrong people around you can turn everything upside down in a matter of seconds. I've had people around me who have taken advantage of my kindness. But even in those experiences, I've found lessons from the universe. There is a part inside of me that genuinely believes that maybe all these things happen because the cosmos has something special planned for me. 😊Besides, if you lose me in your life, it's going to be hard to fill that void. I know how strong this love is that I have to give. Maybe that's also why I'm so protective of it! 31 yearsThirty-oneand it feels just likdays.Just as if I've been in this world for a month, I roam around with curiosity. Yet my soul wanders with ancient wisdom.😋 Thank you guys for supporting my Story Time adventures up until now. I look forward to sharing more travel and foodie episodes with you in the future. I share these stories in the hope of inspiring those who can relate to what I've been through. When your heart feels heavy and the world around you feels so empty, I want you to remember that you can make it through anything! Keep lighting those candles, and maybe one day you'll find your way out of the darkness.  Are you subscribed to my blog? I'm excited about your upcoming birthday vlogs. Until next time, right here on Story Time.💓Shachem Lieuw
