‘’Today is actually my birthday. My mom came into my room to pray for me. When she was done, she stepped out and then I realized that so much is going in my life, I realized I don't have much time left. I am 23 years old right now. If you add two more years to my age, I will be 25.
I have not figured out my life. I have no business, I am not working, not in school. no relationship…I am just there, just living each day as it comes. I know this is not the plans God has for me. It cannot be because he cannot create me and keep me there just to occupy space. No! Even if that is the plan he has for me, I know that I want more, I can change it. The feeling is so overwhelming. I feel like there is no time. I have not fulfilled anything. I am just there.
I feel so sorry for myself''
