Today is my last official day of being in my 20's and tomorrow I turn the ripe old age of 30 years old. I share everything with you wonderful readers so am going to share this pivotal moment in my life too. Recently I have really been thinking about the last 10 years and everything that has been achieved in my 20's.
When I turned 20 honestly it was amazing and the beginning of my 20's was incredible. I experienced so much of life. I finished education as soon as I came in to my 20's and that was such a pivotal moment. It was like all my life I had spent in education, there was that routine of getting up and learning to then just floating and trying to find my feet. Let me tell you that I still haven't found my feet, I am still guessing myself as to where I want to work, what career would I like? Where do I see my life path going? When I was younger I thought that I would have my life figured out by the time I was in my late 20s and now I am out of that I still don't feel like I have anything figured out at all.
20 year old of me would of been so scared that I didn't have my life together at this age but honestly I am actually so happy to be embracing my 30's. I actually am so excited for the things that I have been planned and for the future ideas that I have brewing. I pray that they all fortify and become in to something so amazing.
I thought that when you hit your 30s that your life would all be figured out but it is not and let me tell you something it never is. Even people who look like they have life figured out they actually don't they just let on that they do. So advice I would give to my younger self is don't freak out, plans don't always work out but everything and I mean everything happens for a reason.
So here are the top 29 things that have happened or I have learned in my 20's:
