Today I am 30 years old. It is with a tinge of sadness that I leave my 20s behind, but I’m hoping this next decade will be my happiest, healthiest and favorite yet. (There’s a good chance of it with my all-time #1 favorite person by my side.)
I’ve used the month leading up to today to list 30 things about myself that I love and that make me me. They have been 30 things meant to build up my self esteem and and get me pumped up and ready to tackle life with the pride, maturity and wisdom of having been around for 30 years. I’m not sure I feel quite that enthusiastic about starting the next decade in my life, but I can definitely say I’m more excited about being me than I was 30 days ago.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I haven’t been as positive or happy as I wish I had been this past year and I hope that today can mark a new starting point for me to be the me that I love and love the me that I am.
The next year’s goals won’t be lofty, unachievable ones. There will simply be one: to be happy as often as possible doing as many things with those that I love as is possible.
