Something shifts inside you when you turn 30.
(which was last year for me) It’s just one of those things you feel when it happens. Similar to when you hit 20 but obviously you have another decade under your belt so, you know more. Your emotions are more developed. Your tolerance levels are higher, your goals have shifted and your life’s path just looks different. So many things I once worried about have vanished. Shallow friendships have ended. Many, many mistakes were made but learned from. Having the experience of my 20’s under my belt, has molded me into quite the woman. I'm proud of who I am, where I'm going, and don’t regret a thing. Life is a long game. By this point I’ve lost, given up, started over, failed, fucked up, not finished, half assed, given way too much, been through an assortment of horrible happenings but have come to realize that’s just part of life! You live and you learn. I’ve also loved, played, explored, dreamed, accomplished, won, grown, matured, learned and experienced loads of incredible things along the way. I'm grateful for it all. Now 31, I feel more ready than ever for the future and very grounded in the present. It’s time to share a bit of the journey, the healing, and the knowledge gained through the last decade. What a ride!!
