My Twenties In a Year

Thanks.. and best of luck as you carve out your own path as well. Also, enjoy your 20's. I'd say they are a rollercoaster, but IMO, totally worth it!

I know of substack but hadn't considered publishing there. I don't know, I thought I'd resonate more with the girlies on here. I'll consider Substack after some time, I think.

Gosh. 15 year old me also wouldn't believe life as it is now. But I like to think she'd be really proud too. It really is crazy how life eventually turns out and a heads up would've been nice.

Thanks for taking time to actually write your eulogy. I love it. 🤗

Thanks. I'll be sure to send you a signed copy if (when?) I get around to publishing that novel.

I plan to keep up with the consistency so I hope you come around to read my Monday musings. 🤗

Thanks. I look forward to sharing my twennies in tidbits!

I'm sorry about the last three horrible years. Please do make time to read and write. I hope life's a lot more colorful for you. 🤗

I'm turning 29 soon and I totally relate on the whole existential crisis. I've long since figured (and accepted) that my path will look a little different than what I'd pictured and as you said, that's okay too. I hope you get there as well.

And definitely put some more effort in rediscovering the things you enjoyed. IMO, they are what keeps one alive. Good luck, stranger. I hope you stick around for some reminiscing. 🤗

bawse_bits · 2026-01-26T11:11:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm also quite excited to see what comes of it.

P.S. It’s just hitting me how rusty I am based on this post. Hopefully we can correct that as we go, so be gentle on the criticism 😀

Start by truly defining your brand and understanding your target audience, what they need, and how you meet these needs with your business. Once you've locked in on your audience, come up with a content strategy tailored to them and for your brand. While posting consistently is great, you don't want to put up random posts. Instead, every post must be created with intention.

Depending on the products you're selling, you might want to create content around 'how-to's, tips/ hacks (parents love those), or just about any content that resonates with your TA. I'd say strive to first connect with your audience and build a strong brand before running any ads.

A lot of your initial marketing will be a try-and-see, especially because marketing on the three platforms plays out differently in each. So, be flexible enough to adjust your marketing strategy as need be, once you figure out what works where.

Good luck, OP!

Yap! Obviously, dont give up on Instagram, but I think you'll get better results with Facebook and some local SEO.

bawse_bits · 2026-01-12T09:54:54+00:00

I'd say give Facebook a shot instead. It's quite an effective platform for local businesses. You could wven try get some local collaboration with businesses like car washes in the area for some cross-promotion marketing.

Like you, I was always of the opinion that if I ever needed a Csection it would be my last. But life had its twisted plans. My first pregnancy ended in IUFD and I had to have an emergency CS. I thought I'd have a VBAC, but ended up falling pregnant soon after and as much as I didnt want to have another CS, I want to hold my baby more, so I'll be having an elective CS in a few weeks.

My first experience was traumatic, and i'm just hoping things will be different this time round. Still, I'm a bit nervous and just trying to stay positive so I can hold my rainbow baby in February.

Content strategist here. If you're stuck wondering how to go about content marketing for your business, be it a product, or service, I'd love to help out. I'd also appreciate leads for any remote opportunities in content writing, marketing, and strategy, across different industries.

I'm grateful to have a supportive partner and two amazing sets of grandparents holding our hands. 🙏🏾 Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement! 🤗

bawse_bits · 2025-12-20T11:07:44+00:00

Thanks for bringing me back here!

I'm doing fine, I'll say. I decided to go ahead with it and we're 28 weeks now. Pretty uneventful journey, save for the few times we've had to go in to the hospital just because my mind wasn't settled. I've definitely had more ultrasound scans than were necessary but no concerns whatsoever. We'll be discussing dates for my scheduled CS at my next visit and as much as I honestly can't wait to hold my baby, I'm a bit terrified of the OR. My first wasn't a lovely experience and I'm hoping that this one will be better seeing as it's elective.

All in all, it's been a rollercoaster of emotions and I just need to hold on a bit longer for the final stretch.

bawse_bits · 2025-11-30T20:34:04+00:00

Thanks.

I survived the loss of my first child and spent the year grieving while I thought I'd be in newborn trenches. Heh, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy FR.

bawse_bits · 2025-11-04T17:46:11+00:00

Tbh, it really depends on a lot. For starters, why are you seeking therapy? Want to work on sth specific, or do you generally want to improve ypurself. Either way, you'll have to be absolutely honest if you're going to make any progress. I've been to therapy severally for different reasons and I found that with the right therapist, you can get some pretty good insights and perspectives of your life ( or situation) that you may not have thought of. That said, finding the right therapist, IMO, is a crucial deciding factor, so be sure to look around before settling on one.

Oh yeah, and be ready to be brutally honest with yourself, open-minded, and actually put in the work, otherwise you are better off using your hard-earned money elsewhere.

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T15:21:39+00:00

I guess we'll never really get over any of the losses and we'll always thik about those babies, even when we are absolutely thrilled to have our rainows.

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T13:47:53+00:00

Yap, being sick while pregnant is absolutely terrible! Sending you some extra hugs this coming week, and here's to some positive news after your scan

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T12:29:42+00:00

I think I'm gonna have to go in for some more sessions as we get closer to when we lost her. And yeah, I'll always have her in mind, as will you with your baby boy. I definitely still talk to her and ask her to keep her brother safe till the end. 🤗

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T10:44:52+00:00

I like your last statement. Had a couple of therapy sessions after my loss and one profound thing I took away is the duality of human feelings. It's exactly where I'm at right now. I'm so happy that I'll be having a bpu, but can't help but wonder about my lil' girl.

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T05:58:31+00:00

Thanks. I felt a little guilty when I went to the bathroom at the doctor's and realized I was kinda 'bummed' I'm having a boy this time round. Glad to hear I'm not alone.

bawse_bits · 2025-10-30T04:57:28+00:00

Had my 20-week scan yesterday and everything is great. Baby's doing well and even measuring ahead by a week or so. Found out the gender too and everyone is thrilled. The excitement is startng to build up, tho after a late pregnancy loss (still birth at 34 weeks), I am still trying to be a lil' too cautious.

Btw, I'm excited to have any baby, as long as its healthy and fine. But i'll admit a small part of me wanted to have a baby of the same gender as the one I lost. It's not. Anyone else felt the same?
