A Journal Entry | June 21, 2021 | Here’s to 30

Here’s to no longer being afraid of my age, to no longer fearing falling behind, or feeling like I’m not there yet. To no longer measuring myself up next to someone else’s ruler, comparing my life to someone else’s path, or my accomplishments against someone else’s timeline.

F*ck it. This is Me.

Unmarried, still starting off my career, living at home, paying off my student loans, but also so very unbothered, unfazed, and 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚.  So long, decade of caring way too much about what other people think; hello freedom, peace of mind, and a whole lot of adventure. Here’s to no longer trying to fit in, but rather spending time with people I genuinely enjoy being around, to embracing the introverted (with a splash of extroverted) person that I am. Here’s to no longer accepting the kind of love that I know I don’t deserve, and actually opening myself up to loving me, and 𝘠𝘰𝘶, with my whole heart.

Here’s to no longer giving AF about all the BS, and just finally choosing to be unequivocally, Me.

Here’s to 30 🙂

I journaled this, this morning and took the deepest sigh of relief, combined with the greatest inhale for life, and felt as though I had just released the heaviest weight off my chest.

Perhaps it was perfect timing on my part (or maybe the Universe’s) for having recently finished the novel “The Courage to be Disliked,” because it has profoundly influenced my mindset over the past few weeks. I highly encourage everyone to read it 🙂

Thank you so much to my family and best friends who made this birthday so very special <3
