And so begins chapter T H I R T Y ✨
When the dreaded 30th birthday came I always thought that I would be further along - like the whole marriage, kids, white picket fence house, a high end career, etc. etc. - yanno, the way the movies made life seem like it should be. In my twenties I realized that was not realistic at all and that’s absolutely okay.
My twenties was full of nothing by growth and learning experiences. I went through so many moves, heartbreak, starting over, finding myself, learning to love myself, finding passions and hobbies, hiking, adventuring, traveling, opening up my creative side, starting a blog, finding my soulmate, and finding happiness. It wasn’t always easy, but I always found a way to make the best of it. I learned so many lessons, but the most important one was making myself a priority. I am so happy I learned how to be myself and how to love being myself because it opened up so many doors that I had closed.
After everything I went though in my twenties I would do it all again, as long as I ended up here in my thirties; building a life with the person I love, having all of my cats, being surrounded by the tribe I’ve chosen full of family and friends, my career with the State of Maine, our cute and homey townhouse, all of my adventures, all of my travels, all of the lessons I’ve learned and all of the experiences I’ve had. I’m happy to be where I am and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m saying goodbye to my twenties and embracing my thirties with open arms and a full heart. I am excited to see where this next chapter will take me. I have a feeling that this is when life truly starts. 🤍
