So I've been MIA for a bit, but when it gets closer to my birthday, I tend to reflect more on the past year of my life — more than people would do for New Years. I see my birthday as my News Years. So really, this is what's been weighing on my mind....
You know how you can remember specific moments from your past. Like you specifically remember where you were and what you were doing when you said something — like "I can't wait to be 25 years old." Well for me, that 25 years came and went and now I'm almost 30. Forget having a quarterlife crisis. That's already passed. But come on!
I always welcome a birthday, but lately I get the feeling that each birthday year is going by faster and faster. I'd like for now, once in my life, for the days and weeks to go by a little slower.
So, how do I attempt to tackle this? Well for starters, I try to think less and less about a specific trip somewhere, and live more in the current month of February. Live, in the present. Easier said than done for someone who always thinks about where she was going next, etc. But I'm working on it.
There are a lot of new changes/adventures coming up on my "New Year."
