It’s my 29th birthday and as I sit here and reflect on this past year - this has been one of the most challenging years of my life in many ways- emotionally, spiritually, mentally, etc.
What I’ve learned is that nothing is ever set in stone. Life keeps on going and things keep on changing. A younger version of myself always looked to the next thing and was ready for things to change so quickly. When I look back, I wonder if I was truly present in those moments because sometimes it all feels like such a blur.
But through this year, I’ve learned a lot about myself and my upbringing. I wish I hadn’t been this way in the past, I want to go back and hold onto some of those moments but now I’ve learned to truly be present in the here and now. I’ve learned what life is really all about.
We are all trying to race to our final destinations but what fun is that if we get there so easily? Life is about the journey. Enjoy the ups and down - all of the experiences life will throw at you. Feel what it feels like to be human. We can’t go through this life alone, find your circle of people you can lean on for support. This is a another big realization I’ve had within the last year.
Life moves so fast and I as I sit here, I can’t even believe I’m 29. I sure as heck don’t feel it.
I have zero idea what the future holds (a good thing!) but from all of my experiences this past year, I will move forward with more intention, connectedness with myself, and compassion. Grateful I get to be here and experience what it’s like to be human. Here’s to my last year in my 20’s! 🎉❤️
P.S. the book is called Courage by Osho. Would highly recommend.
