Thirty, Flirty and Thriving!!!

… More like content, blessed and a little bit stressed

Well, here’s to 30. It came a lot sooner than my 18-year-old self

would have thought. As I say goodbye to my 20s and hello to my

30s, I’ve found myself looking back on the formative years in my

life so far. My twenties were exactly what I wanted them to be.

I had the privilege of achieving almost every goal I set for myself.

I went to college and enjoyed myself to the fullest, made lifelong

acquaintances and even fell in love… twice. I traveled the world

both in and out of the country. I moved to a new state, lived in

5 different cities and moved into my own place for the first time.

I worked 10+ jobs and then found a career I love. The most

enjoyable thing about my 20s was the process of self-discovery.

There are many things that I’ve learned about myself. I learned

that I enjoyed hosting gatherings for family and friends, and

creating memories that we will never forget. I enjoy traveling to

different places and immersing myself into the culture and trying

local cuisines. I’ve also learned that I’m a matter-of-fact type of

person. I’m decisive with a Type B Personality. I enjoy my own

company and continue to explore what makes me happy. Overall,

my 20s were amazing. Looking forward to my 30s, it’s time to

think about what’s next for me. Let’s just say 30 is looking

NOTHING like what I expected but, for the opportunity to live

life, it’s a gift that I’m grateful for. Until next time…
