Aging
23rd birthday celebration at Medieval Times in the VIP section
The past couple of weeks leading up to my birthday had been tough. I mulled over how much my priorities had changed over the course of eight years. When you’re young, naïve and ready to take on the world you don’t think that the choices you make then will impact you to the degree that they do down the line….You might say I was in a bit of an existential state. I kicked and screamed my way to 28.
However, I’m blessed with a strong support system (I’m grateful for them every day). On my birthday, my family and friends made sure I felt acknowledged, appreciated and celebrated. So while aging might not be all fun and games, it’s milestones like birthdays that allow you to take a moment and savor life and love.
There are still lots of fun and games.
