If you couldn't tell by the last post, I turn the big 3 - 0 this year. Unlike most Gen-Xers, I'm actually looking forward to this transition into adulthood. The twenties for me were full of uncertainty, a general lack of direction, and unhappiness. They were also full of adventure, trial and error, and growth. I'm happy and ready to be leaving all of that behind. I feel a bit like I'm starting with a clean slate. I'm not leaving behind all of my life experiences, but I'm finally feeling like I can accept them for what they were. They have shaped me into the person I am now and I'm ready to share that person with the world.
I am entering adulthood with the knowledge that I am a strong, capable woman. I've been able to make it on my own. But the thing I have learned is that life isn't about what you can do on your own, it's about what we can do together. I'm not just referring to the collective we, but also to the more intimate we. The we that is a you and a me.
Therefore I have decided to make this year about making the me into a we. Allowing love to enter my life in the most intimate way and shape the new direction I will travel. Although the idea of allowing myself to experience that kind of vulerability scares me, I'm ready for the challenge. The ups and the downs, the awkward and the intimiate, the highs and the lows. I will be sharing the journey here, as much for myself, as to share it with the world. I hope you'll join me and share your own journey as well. It's going to be a fun ride.
