I'm nearly 30, you guys. How did this go by so quickly? I feel like I was just sitting in a car in the parking lot of Chevy's with my boyfriend, telling him that 29 was FREAKING ME OUT and that I "needed" to know what was in store for myself- would I have babies? Would I be successful? Were my millions on their way? Will I lose the ability to forget myself every once in a while and just be free and fun??
I am happy to report that, although 29 was difficult in so many ways, it was also THE BEST. I am me- and I am amazing. I do well. I have a job, I have a home, I have love. I am so pleased with myself these days, and here is why:
I have let go. I have stopped worrying over things that are not my own. It is astounding how paramount that was to my health! Literally, my body was not functioning properly due to stress. I said, "Forget this!" I started running. I went to see my favorite band. I made lunch and dinner and sitting around plans with friends. I went to Palm Springs with my girlfriends. I refinished a dresser that has been staring at me for almost a year. I went to see a movie alone. I bought new shoes. I make sure my boyfriend knows how happy he makes me. I grocery shop. I eat more fruits and vegetables. I have lost 5 lbs!
My plans are big. I want to get some sort of degree. I want to write a book. I want to listen to more new music. I want to paint and I want to play my guitar and sing. I want to save money and have a little nest egg. I want to be a good partner. I want to travel.
