24 Things I Learned Before Turning 24
On June 19th I turned 24, I literally remember being 8 years old and imagining what 13 would be like. Time has truly flown and I'm blessed to see this new year of life. Throughout my short years on earth I've gone through more than most my age, however it's granted me the wisdom to discern things that is imperative for me to know so I can continue to blossom into the woman I'm destined to become. Below I'll share some key lessons that I've learned on my life journey thus far...
