Growing Up
So I just turned 20 last Tuesday - happy lil late birthday to me (again). And every year that goes by the less excited or bothered I am about it. Why? What happened to the lil girl who loved celebrating her birthday with family and friends?
I don't know.
What I do know is, that, each year that I do get older I somehow feel like life is moving so fast before my eyes. Like there's this sort of race everyone is a part of and I'm somehow losing. I feel like there are so many things I need to achieve before I hit 30 but I remember that life is not linear. Life does not always plan out the way you expect it to be. Life is just... life. Deal with it. There are going to be things that come your way you do not expect and others where you will willingly grasp them with both arms. Life isn't a competition and everybody is on their own different journey. That's right - different. Stop worrying about others, what they are doing, what they think of you and focus on you. Your health, your mentality, your goals. You.
Only you can achieve the things you want to, and if you have a certain calendar date you want to achieve those things by - fine. But please, don't beat yourself up if you don't succeed in time, we're only human after all. You are on this planet for around 90 years. Some people don't get that long - make the most of it. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Live it.
