By the time I finish writing this entry, I will be kissing my twenties good-bye.
I can remember my 20th birthday with such clarity, like it happened last year. Now here I am, 10 years later staring the big 3-0 in the face. It doesn't seem quite real to me yet.
I haven't felt 20 for a long time. I definitely feel I've matured since 25, but I really don't feel "old". Just more weirded out if anything. I'm entering a new era in my life, and although aging is somewhat scary, I wouldn't go back to being younger even if it was possible to push back the hands of time. My 20s were sometimes volatile, I went through periods of distress and great sadness. But there were so many wonderful things I experienced that have helped me grow into the person I am today. When I think of all things big and small, most of what I recall brings a big smile to my face.
Some of my recent journal entries reflect a lot of frustration and disapointment with my current job situation. Unfortunatley, I let the whole allusive career-development thing really drag me down at times. By no means am I satisfied with where I am, but even though I sometimes act like I'll be trapped in this position forever, I know things will change.
Outside of work, everything else in my life is just fine, and I have a tremendous amount to be grateful for. I thank God every day for the amazing family I was born into, without them I would have absolutely nothing. And I am double-blessed with wonderful friends who have entered and influenced my life throughout the years, some whom I've known since highschool.
My family threw me a big birthday bash last week-end. I was spoiled absolutely rotten and received some great gifts, including a snappy new Guess handbag, gift certificates for Chapters/HMV, over $300 cash, and an awesome new digital camera. I was so overwhelmed with the generosity and the overall reception, that I became quite emotional by the end of the day and started to cry. Lol yeah...I was genuinely moved.
So I will get to spend my actual birthday later today with my best friend who is taking me out for dinner, drinks, and who knows what else. For the remainder of the week-end, I'll be hooking up with other friends for more merriment, and I couldn't be any happier.
Here's to 30!
xoxo
