Adulting Aha's of 2022
I am the big 3.9. The last year of my 30s! And I can hardly believe it. This age feels just like the others except more solid, sure, and content. The dream-plan of my teens that had life figured out by 30 (because it was soooo far away) seems like an SNL skit now. Life doesn't work like that, I have realized. And I'm so glad it doesn't. Every moment has NOT been good, but it has been worth it to bring me to where I am today. I thought being 39 would feel older, but really, physically 39 feels like 29...better even! The major changes haven't happened physically. The major changes have happened mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That's why on this birthday especially, I am reminiscing on what was important back then and what's real right now. Here are my top 39 Adulting aha's of 20.
This is my adulting aha list of 2022. What I believed in "then" in my early 20s. And what I liv22e by now at 39!.
