Birthday Bliss & Blues

Today is my 32nd birthday. 32 years of eating, sleeping, breathing, walking, talking. I never paid much attention to my birthday when I was younger. Strange isn't it? Usually it's the other way around. People tend to forget their age as they get older, but if anything, I'm more aware of my age now that I am getting older. I guess it has something to do with still feeling like I don't have my shit together. In my twenties, I imagined that I would have a high paying job or career, with two kids, a husband, and a dog. Well I have the husband and the dog. But no kiddos yet. Thankfully as far as we know, it's by choice. We will see if that changes in the next few months...

So with some reluctance, I've made it to 32. And I've come to the realization that this is where I am right now in life, and that although I still have a long way to go in my quest for actually feeling like a full-blown adult, I'm getting closer. We don't realize how far we've come until we really let ourselves stop and take a good look back at where we once were. Life goes by so quickly, that if you constantly dwell on what you don't have, you'll miss the things you do. So today, I'm letting myself be in the moment. Right now. Time will only tell what the future holds but there is no use in worrying.

By the way, I want to say a big thank you for all the wonderful comments I received on my life update. Not only was I overwhelmed by your kindness and support, but I have also tapped into the writer side of myself again, and I would like to sprinkle in more of those posts along with the usual fare. I hope you'll continue to follow along.This community has been so amazing over the years, and your love is absolutely noted :)
