This year I’ve been on a rollercoaster. A rollercoaster of emotions not knowing if I’ll find my purpose. I’ve been hearing that term a lot more often now. Before last year I never really understood that term but I’m seeing clearer now. I’m learning not to procrastinate and really get things done. Finding my purpose in life or figuring out this thing called life has been an interesting journey.

It all started with my love for fashion. I always got compliments on my outfits and people always said either they love how I put an outfit together, or they wouldn’t have thought to put it together. In college, I found myself joining the fashion club and taking part in a fashion show and walking the runway. Little did I know that that will be the starting point of my dream of fashion or being in fashion or showing off my styling habits.

I realized that I wasn’t giving myself the opportunity to shine and living my best life. Who knew I’d be living out my passion from when I was barely stepping into my twenties? Fast forward a few years later, I found myself yet again taking part in a fashion show and being categorized in the best dressed category. I realized that I wasn’t confident enough to step out into the world fashion just yet and wasn’t finding my purpose in life.

In 2017, I knew God called me into my purpose and he was speaking loudly and leading me to the right path. But of course I wasn’t sure if I was listening so I decided I need to put all my fears aside and pursue my passion. I always pray fervently for clarity and the clarity God gave me was unreal!
