Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving

I spent my twenties agonizing over why I felt so far behind in life. Never where I wanted to be at, never with people I wanted to be with, never doing things I wanted to do. I thought that first decade of adulthood was going to be pure bliss and joy. In reality, it was my own personal Hell with lots of plot twists and character development that I didn't necessarily ask for.

As I enter my third decade, I look back at those trials and tribulations fondly. I still haven't figured it all out and I'm not entirely sure I will. The difference between Jessica in her 20s and Jessica in her 30s is the mindset shift. Being okay with where I am presently, even if it's not what I wanted, expected, or envisioned. Forgiving myself for not meeting my own expectations. Finding/creating as much beauty as I possibly can in a hateful world. Overall, just being happy. I am on a journey of reinventing myself and diving into the things I'm passionate about. I am on a personal mission to enjoy a life filled with gratitude.

I was always nervous about turning thirty. I thought it meant the end of my youth when in fact, it's my prime. I am my strongest, smartest, healthiest, and happiest. I look forward to continue to age, as there is so much beauty in growth and change. I am thrilled to be entering this phase of life on such a cloud nine, I can only imagine how else I will thrive in the years to come.

Thank you for being here with me in this moment and taking the time to read my thoughts. Happy Taurus season, may it bring abundance in all forms. <3
