Goodbye twenties...

Four sleeps is all I have left of my twenties and when you think about it technically I don't even have that many. I imagine I will still be awake as Friday rolls into Saturday, thus turning twenty-nine into the big three zero. When I think about it, I was probably too young to reflect on the end of my teens, still caught up in the wonders of life and the endless possibilities ahead as I got ready for my second year of university and my first overseas trip. For the occasion itself, I couldn't even tell you how I celebrated the beginning of my twenties, but I imagine it involved some sort of joint celebration with my mum, whom I share my birthday with. Fast forward to the present and I still think life is wonderful and that the possibilities are endless, but now I know more about the world and have ten additional years of experience and adventures under my belt to reflect upon. I kind of wish my nineteen year old self had written to the twenty-nine year old me with her hopes and dreams for the future to see if any of them had come true. Regardless, life has definitely been interesting during this decade and I have had so many amazing experiences with an array of fantastic people on different continents. Even the sad or not so fun times have meant something to me. I cannot wait to see what is in store for me during this next decade, maybe I will finally figure out what I want to be when I grow up, get married, have children and create a wonderful home. All I do know is that no matter what life throws at me, I am going to try to have fun with it, not sweat the small stuff, live each day to the fullest and just be happy. If all else fails I will remember that I got to spend the first day of my thirties with Mickey Mouse and Friends at Disneyland with a pretty cool partner in crime and my loved ones in my thoughts.
