Twenty-seven

{via}

I am twenty seven years old today.

More than a quarter of a century, more than halfway to thirty.

I can hardly believe it.

Birthdays are always a day to step back & think about life.  Okay, fine, & also about having a good glass of wine & a little bit of fun.  My 26th year was not my favorite.  It was not my easiest year, nor my best year, & while I know there are moments I’ll look back on happily, I am definitely ready to say goodbye.  I have a penchant for (read: obsession with) odd numbers, so turning 27 seems extra good.  I know, I know: I AM CRAZY.

The upside of having a rough year means that you learn & grow a lot.  This year was no exception.  I learned about how strong my family is, about how much love exists in my life, thanks to those people.  I was reminded of how much we support & love one another, as we saw one another through one of the darkest times in our family history.  This year, I lost some friendships, gained some new friendships from the most unexpected sources, & reconnected with friends I’d missed so much.  I learned about love.  I was reminded of my own strength.  I wrote more than I ever have, & learned how much I want that to be part of my life.  I had experiences that I’ll never forget, laughed a lot, cried some & grew & changed.

It was a year.

This year, I’m planning on more laughing & less crying, on more experiences that make me feel alive, on growing & being a better version of me.

Here’s your part: Stealing from the lovely Wishcake, I’d like to have a Delurking Post.  That means…whether you read everyday & leave lovely comments, or you read but don’t comment, or you’re here for the first time, PLEASE leave me a comment.  Say hi.  Need some convicing?

LEAVE ME A COMMENT.  DON’T SAY NO TO THE BIRTHDAY MULLET:
