As I turn 28, I find myself pausing to reflect on the journey so far. Usually, I'd outline my accomplishments like a nerd from the past year, but this time feels different. This year has seen its ups and downs, moments of uncertainty, and battles with bouts of depression...While being 27, I couldn't help but reflect on the "27 Club" and its profound impact. This group, comprised of influential musicians and artists who tragically passed away at 27, left behind a powerful legacy. Their stories have fueled my passion and reminded me of life's brevity.

I might not be a rockstar, but as an artist myself, or rather, as a "backup dancer to the creative process," I felt a unique connection to their abrupt journeys.

Today is not about looking back; it's about looking forward with a fierce determination and a stomach full of aspirations.

28, I'm hungry for growth, success, and new experiences.

"Tits up!" I'm choosing to look ahead with excitement. I want to manifest my dreams boldly, to carve out my path. I feel a deep sense of readiness and eagerness to embrace the challenges and triumphs that await. It's not just about setting goals; it's about committing myself wholeheartedly to their pursuit.

Of course, there's a fear of failure, a fear that by putting these words out there, I may not have the receipts of their achievement.

I won't lie, I struggle with setting timelines, goals, and keeping up with challenges. Getting out of bed some mornings is rough. Completing simple tasks does not always come easy to me. But this is the essence of manifestation—declaring goals and then doing the work to achieve them. And if I stumble, I will rise and try again. I know I have a support system. I know my worth, and I know I deserve success, even if my emotions some days tell me otherwise.

This year, I am determined to nurture my growth, to push beyond comfort zones, and to seize opportunities with unwavering belief in my potential.

For me, this means finally wrapping up my degree journey that has stretched out over nearly ten years. It also involves exploring new career paths and discovering fresh creative outlets. Various strategies for time management come to mind—how to effectively organize my life to feel fulfilled and maintain energy. Some of my friends are getting their NASM certification and that is very inspiring. I want to continue blogging of course and add to my channel "La Vida Yves," on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/channel/Abb1BEKUQxiDVcbm/

Explore new creative avenues
Increase blogging activity

So, here's to the year ahead—

At 28, I'm crafting my own narrative of success—one where hustle meets heart, and where resilience feeds my journey. I'm committed to paving paths where there were none, breaking barriers, and inspiring others along the way.

Under my Leo Sun's radiant influence, I confidently manifest success, embracing leadership with passion and purpose.

With my Capricorn Moon grounding me in determination, I achieve goals through hard work and strength, turning challenges into growth opportunities.

Guided by my Libra Rising, I attract harmony and cooperation, effortlessly forging connections that reinforce my journey toward success.
