30s

I'm 30 and pretty psyched about that. I like that I can start a new season and leave some stuff behind. I am also glad to bring along the stuff that has made me, me. My honesty was found in the tears of my 20s. I learned about being true to myself.... whatever the price. High five Jes K! I like to think the wrinkles around my eyes come from smiling and laughing too much in my 20s. (or maybe I am just not willing to spend $ on eye cream yet) Maybe I was dancing on a bar, hiking upstate, joking around, or just having a good time.... but laugher happened the most in my 20s. It was a good decade.
I learned about true friendship, heart break, independence, my dreams and the very best thing I learned about was myself. I'm 30 and I think I am just starting to understand myself. I feel confident about what I like and feel fine about not liking things and even people. Turns out I don't have to like everyone. What a relief!
I know what makes me happy and when to take a break before life overwhelms me. I know I need to run, eat well, work hard, and take care of my spiritual and mental health in order to keep making those eye wrinkles worse!!
I love life again. I'm currently in love NYC and all that it has given me in the past 8 years. I am excited to see what this new decade has to offer me! Bring it on 30s~

I love this post so much! It's beautifully written, and I cherish the sentiment behind it. You have earned that happiness, Jes Kruse, and you have learned how to find it and practice it in your 30s. Go team 30!!
