Dear Madame Joy,
I am turning 40 next month and I am having a hard time dealing with it. I’m not where I expected to be at this point in my life and it is really depressing. I’m not saying that I have not accomplish anything but it just seems that my friends all seem to be moving on and I am just stuck in this place and not moving forward.
Madame Joy how do I get myself out of this depressing rut.
Birthday Blues,
Dear birthday blues,
Thank You!
Baby Blue, let me put this in perspective fuh you, yuhchuppid!!! You not where you expected to be? There is nothing wrong with making a life plan but sometimes, life gets in the way and we have to push the time line back a bit. Nothing wrong with that. Just keep moving forward. Are these your expectation or the expectations other people have for you? Why you comparing yourself to your friends? You doh know how they get what they have. I mean if they super successful and rich and you not den ah sorry eh! buh do worry about dat, you can fix that.!
You literally have only 2 choices, turn 40 or dead! So stop yuh nonsense.
Choice one allows you to live long and prosper, you can make changes to what you think you need to and live a fulfilling life. The second one yuh dead! You don’t pass go, you never reach your true potential.
Look at Morgan Freeman, the man was old as ass before he get “discovered”. We didn’t know about all the work he do before, but all of a sudden he was Driving Miss Daisy all over the place and now everybody know this man. The man like friggin Visa, everywhere you want to be. Since then he did well over 100 movies, TV shows, voice overs and god know what else (Oh yeah, of course, he play God too). Now I sure he wanted to “make it” long before his 50s. It just took him a little longer but now the man living it up. Give yuhself some more time and work towards where you want to be.
See I have this friend right (me) and she have this friend right (Tulip) and every year that friend(me) does start a count down on the first day of her(my) birthday month. She(I) sends a daily remainder to the friend (Tulip) reminding her that is the day before (insert the number of days) before her(my) birthday.
Why does this friend(me) do this this to her friend (Tulip), you ask? Go ahead nah, ask!!! OK well because you ask. she(I) does(do) it because she(I) is(am) alive and she(I) knows she’s(I’m) lucky to be alive and she(I) should enjoy it. she(I) also wants to annoy the friend (Tulip) with the count down. Because Tulip just doh appreciate how luck she is that she(I) have chosen her to be the recipient of this awesome celebration! Sometimes yuh does have some ungrateful friend eh, but doh worry, it all good.
My other friend (Julie), well she worse than me , so Tulip appreciate!!!
Girl, celebrate your damn birthday, look at how many people you know did not make it to that number. Celebrate the fact that you can see/feel the sunshine.
Figure out what prosperity means to you, it doh mean money for everybody.
So in a nutshell what you need to do is get off your ass, pull up dem draws, stop feeling sorry for yourself and move on!
Follow these simple steps and you too will attain happiness and clarity.
p.s. Doh forget to buy yuhself something for your birthday eh! Remember nobody should love you more than you. Celebrate yuh dam self, even if yuh by yuhself. Jus Sayin!
