It’s finally May 24, meaning I am 24 years old today. I can’t believe it, it sounds so foreign to me. I have slowly been trying to accept this over the past few days, which is also foreign to me. I thought I was immune to the age insecurity thing. Honestly, I just wish I was farther along in life than I am right now. I wish I already had a degree and was starting the next chapter of life. It truly is okay though, I am where I am for a reason. I had to learn some tough lessons along the way but I am so lucky I learned them and I had second chances to make my life better.
So enough with the feeling too old for my age thing. I know the older me would want to kick the present me in the face for talking this way. I am starting my 24th year with open arms to all of the blessings, lessons, adventures, and life that awaits me. I am starting my 24th year with a return to veganism, which for me is living every day with integrity and compassion. For myself, for my family, for the animals, for the earth, for my world.
Here’s to a fantastic day, year, life ahead of me!
