twenty something

My apartment is one of my favorite places to be. For most of my life I’ve been trying to be some other place then where I actually am.
But where I am right now….. I love it.

I love being in my twenties! I love, love finally feeling comfortable with who I am and who I am becoming. I love that my family and friends are the most incredible people in the world and I am lucky enough to have them in MY life.
I love that it’s okay to pretend like I’m still a kid and dance till five in the morning and also pretend like I’m a grown-up and teach teenagers all day in an incredible school that I absolutely adore.

I love that life is what you make it. Some things are handed to you, the things you never planned on…..and maybe hate, but it’s still up to you as to what you do with what you’re given.

Life is one sweet gift and I want to enjoy it. Well I’ll at least enjoy it for the next 16 days….. until I have PMS again and hate you all and hate my life and write an entry on how nothing matters. Kidding, it’s not that bad. I’ll reread this entry and try to balance myself out!

For now….. I love watching football and getting pedicures. I love hiking and silence. I love loud music and parties. I don’t like most babies but I would die for my baby nephew, he’s a little gem. I don’t like Chinese food unless my Dad makes it. I love riding my bike, but that 75 miles last summer was a bit much. I wish I could sing. I love laughing, making others laugh, and remembering how funny my brother was. I love pretending like I have time for writing when I have so much work to do. I love pools and the sun!
It’s so fun to be able to just be myself! It’s liberating.

I loved my twenties too! But so far thrity has been pretty sweet also! Just a different kinda sweet.

I am sorry you don't like babies- It was probably lunch with my two year old- LOL:-) They don't call it terrible twos for nothing. She was tough that day!!!!!!! But I swear it isn't always like that all the time.

But seriously live it up, drink it in, cherish all of it, have no regrets, and be 100% in the present every waking moment- that is the only way to live life. I am so happy you are so happy!!!!

Oh and sing anyway :-)
