Have you ever experienced driving home after a long day and wondering "How the heck did I get here?". Although instances like this are normal (especially if you work a 12-hour shift like me), I think it's a sad thought when one day you realize that everything happened so fast in your life that you can't remember how you got to where you are.
My name is Aya & I'm 26 years old. Ever since I was in 3rd grade I have always journaled almost on a daily basis up until I started my RN program 7 years ago. Truly, it is so hard to sum up the last 7 years wherein so much has happened. Life is indeed like an hour glass glued to the table. Even though I cannot turn back time nor can I foresee the future, I am truly thankful for everything that has happened in my life and even more thankful for what is ahead of me. God has been so good, I really have nothing to complain about.
The last 7 years, I feel like I have been over speeding on freeway. In this short amount of time that seemed like forever, I have gotten 3 degrees (RN-BSN-MSN) among all the other stuff that I've been doing. So now even though I still feel the urge to continue zooming ahead (especially that I am 31 days to be exact to being married), I am writing this blog to remind myself to slow down and enjoy the ride. As the common cliche' goes, "Life is a journey, not a destination"
I don't want to let moments just pass me by. It scares the heck out of me to grow old and one day realize that I have not accomplished anything because really, at the end of the day I know it's not my degrees, career or money that will define me. Let me take the time to fully inhale what every day has to offer me and never miss any opportunity to live, learn and love.
Teach us Lord to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom
Psalm 90:12
