Do you ever just feel stuck? Like you know you need to just pick a direction and take a step forward but you just can’t? Well, that’s been me for the past few months when it comes to this blog.

Categories: Just For Fun

This Saturday I turn 30. That’s a weird sentence. Getting older has never really been a big deal to me because most of my friends are older, but 30 seems kind of big. I guess because it’s one of those milestone birthdays that you picture your whole life. Where will I be at 30?

While my life might not look exactly like I imagined (far from it actually), I’m pretty happy with where I am and am looking forward to the next decade!
