My Glow Up and Grow Up


My college journey has presented obstacles, but also introduced me to a ‘grow up’ and ‘glow up’ evolution.
Throughout this evolution, I’ve unleashed greater independence and persistence; I’ve managed my denials and my trials.
I am challenged by both optimism and skepticism as I gain maturity and opportunity.
My resistance upholds my principles.
My dependence invites encouragement while seeking higher education and a deeper revelation of life. 
 
My ‘glow up’ is illuminated with imagination and innovation.
My ‘grow up’ is shaped by motivation, determination, persuasion, and articulation.
 
My ‘glow up’ maintains an exuberant presence as a dynamic present.
My ‘grow up’ demands respect, exhibits intellect, and rejects neglect.
 
My ‘grow up, glow up’ evolution is not to be idolized, but instead idealized.
My ‘grow up, ‘glow up’ evolution does not offer unfair compromise, but instead a fair promise of my organic being. 
 
The spirit of my ‘glow up’ shines bright with melanin and queendom. 
The spirit of my ‘grow up’ lingers after I leave their presence, yet they will continue to be moved by my essence.
 
My ‘glow up’ is designed to build the ‘trust’ factor and promote me as a ‘must’ factor.
My ‘grow up’ is designed to intrigue to lead me to succeed.
 
My ‘glow up’ presents wonderful vision that influences progressive decisions. 
My ‘grow up’ upgrades my presentation toward better situations as I expand my image to demand greater privilege.
 
I accentuate my wardrobe as it dictates my life roads I travel and explore.
I’ve enhanced my ‘glow up, grow up’ because my future is in sight and it is ever so bright;
For my ‘glow up’ exudes radiance and excellence;
And my ‘grow up’ builds my flow up with opportunities and reward.
 
The evolution of my ‘grow up, glow up’ levels me up.
It positions my mediocrity to magnificent;
It evolves my problematic to systematic;
It elevates my dull to dynamic;
Transforms my random moments to remarkable memories;
It raises my insignificant to incredible;
It advances my ordinary to extraordinary;
And transforms my outdated to outstanding.
 
My glow up, grow up’ evolution flourishes as I expand my insight, outlook, vision, decisions, objectives, and perspectives. 
My glow up, grow up’ evolution decreases my limitations and increases my expectations as I strengthen my goals and my role in this journey called life. 
My ‘glow up, grow up’ evolution advances and enhances me.
