Happy Birthday to me!!!! I would like to wish my self a happy birthday! I turned 20 yesterday October 21st, but I am making my actual post today! I was too busy enjoying my day to try an document everything with my camera. Some moments you want to just "live In" and not worry about your phone missing all the action .I never realized how much I was loved until yesterday! Obviously, I know that I am loved, but to feel and see it all at one time was truly humbling. I was getting post made about me from friends and family left and right. I only celebrated with my sister and my mom, but that's okay because I can honestly say that I don't need lavish gifts or a huge party to feel appreciated. Being with the ones I know love me unconditionally is where I want to be always.

I have come a long way these past 20 years. I am no longer an child or teen. I am a full functioning adult. I have been slowly collecting my maturity points the last few years and now that I'm 20 I don'll feel the pressures of adulthood like I thought I would. I am so happy and blessed to be alive and healthy! I am watching myself grow before my own eyes and its completely frightening, but amazingly beautiful all the same.

I know that because I want more out of life, I will face challenges that seem larger than what I think I can handle, but I have really come into my own the last couple of weeks. I know that if I stay true to who I am and my own beliefs that I will end up right where I want to be. Happy, Healthy, and Whole. I've realized that life is not some puzzle that I can figure out and be happy all the time. Life is about struggle and finding happiness and contentment within that struggle. For me, I have always been scared of the future and where I will end up, but very wise and beautiful women once told me that there is no future only the present. At that moment I realized that I have been scared for this long for no reason! I won't live in fear anymore! I will continue to prosper and flourish into the women I know I capable of being flaws and all.

Below is my birthday outfit that I have been saving to wear the whole month of October. I bought each item separately and I put of a lot of thought and love into this look. I hope you enjoy! Thank you so much for reading until next time!
