Well, whoop-de-doo, I'm
25.
Actually, yeah,
whoop-de-doo indeed. I'm 25 years old – I have a job I enjoy,
confidence, a good education, family and friends I love
and great guy beside me. I'm doing ok. I might not be where I wanted
to be by the measures of my naïve 15 year old self, but she
thought I'd be running my own restaurant and sipping Champagne out of
the navels of male models about now. Two things I have no interest in
doing any more.
But I am turning 25 and
I've never been too happy about getting older. Everyone tells me I'm
being silly, that I'm exaggerating. And you know, I think they might be
right. This is the first birthday where anything is possible. I'm not
mourning what I've left behind but looking forward to what's ahead...
and it's exciting. So with that said here's a list of things
I want to do before I turn 30. One that, no doubt, I will regret making when I don't get around to any of them.
