different kind of milestone

In a few days, I'm turning 31. It's not the same milestone as the big 3-0, but it's still a big one. Now I'm actually a "thirty-something." When you're 30, you're just 30. Another year older and I'm another closer to middle age.

A few days ago I had a teeny tiny pity party. I hate feeling old(er). I started to miss my 20s.

I got over it.

I'm grateful for the people in my life. I have great parents. I have awesome friends. I met a wonderful guy, and I'm having the best times. Plus I'm still partying like I'm in my 20s.

Last year when I turned 30, my friends told me that this is your year to shine. I'm still shining brightly. I believe 31 will be a momentous year for me. I can just feel it. Join me for the ride.
