As my twenties draw to a close, I feel like reminiscing over the past three decades. I feel a little shy to be turning 30. It seems like such an adult number and one that packs a message that says, "I have all my stuff together. I am an adult". I don't know why this is intimidating. Reflecting for a moment to take stock at milestones is important to me. Too easily we finish each day exhausted from a busy, multitasking life, not noticing all the amazing things we've accomplished.
Before I turn 30, I decided to indulge and reflect on some of the bigger moments in my first three decades. If you also take a moment to pause, I predict you too will be happy to realize all you've accomplished.
* I have survived ten moves
* I have survived ten moves
* I have survived the loss of my dad
* I have had a steady job and career for eight years
* I have felt love I didn't know possible with my teammate, husband, best friend and strongest supporter Jeremy
* I have learned my heart can swell harder than I ever thought possible through Thomas
* I have accepted friendships ending, moving on and growing apart
* I have been guided by my mum to have a strong self-esteem and self-worth
* I have made myself vulnerable and found friendships in surprising places
*I have learned to relax more, stress less
*I have realized I have a lot to learn
My first 30 years were filled with huge change and major life decisions. People have often said to me they would never want to re-live their 20s because of all the major life decisions we make. I met Jer when I was 21, so my last almost-decade was consumed with love and excitement with him, but also mega choices!
