Woke up at the crack of ass before sunrise to catch a ride back to the airport in Jamaica. 

Jamaica Jamaica ya Jamaica Jamaica 

I so dearly needed a birthday vacation, but I wasn’t sure I was going to have one because of the complexities of job stability. Thankfully and gratefully, I was able to keep my job and go on this relaxing vacation.

I really enjoyed me time. All I really wanted to do was read my book near a beach, drink, and eat good. I could’ve done it on any other beach but going far away for a vacation is bliss. The stress literally melts off your shoulders as the plane lifts off from the ground and flies through the clouds in the sky. 

Sigh 

This is the last post for the 30-day/post challenge. 

Completing this challenge has really lifted a huge weight off my shoulders as a writer.

I no longer feel like I’m speaking to the 15-year-old Sabryn. 

I no longer feel like lil Sabryn has any teachings to be taught. 

The book is closed and it’s being put in the library. The book will never be forgotten. At times I will go back and take a peek at what was. The experiences I had etc etc. 

But I am happy to announce….

The library is now CLOSED. As RuPaul would say lol. 

Now what you may ask. Will I still write? 

And the answer is HELL YES!  I just think what I talk about now will be about the present day. Experimenting with that during this challenge was very scary. So far my writing, to me, has been about talking about things I felt like I was never at liberty to express. To express my pain. To express my sorrow. I always felt like I had to put on a brave and happy face even when my insides felt the total opposite. 

I have done that and I feel complete in that. I understand that things in the future will reflect things of the past because that’s just life however, I don’t want to write about that. I mean I don’t have to make that a priority

In my writing. 

I enjoyed talking about the fun I had walking up to cute strangers and bombing the whole thing lol. I enjoyed talking about the relationship with my friends, my grandma, working out… the fun and mundane things in life. Outside of this wall of writing, I’m such a complex person with multiple personalities (hello Gemini) and I’m finally ready to allow my writing to fully reflect that. 

This is my gift to myself. As I’ve been walking in the airport I’ve been wanting a great gift. I felt it was coming soon. I just had to keep walking straight. At first, I thought it was the coconut shrimp I ate. They were delicious! And then the writing bug got me and I began to write. 

This is a beautiful gift I give to myself because I’m ready to walk forward in life. I am walking and standing and growing roots of Sabryn. I’m ready to see what that looks like.

Continue to join me on this adventure called life. 

I’m going to take a writing break. Check out my Instagram for updates on what’s going on.

Oh yea and if you’ve made it this far. I got accepted into grad school 🎊🎊🎊

As always Love ya Machetes,

Sabryn
