Hello 30... Saying that out loud doesn't make it feel any more real. It doesn't even help persuade me to think I could possibly be here yet. Interesting how it seemed so far away... so, dare I say it, old. Yet here I am. I can't say I feel, old, nor ready for any of the things I once associated with that word. I barely feel able and ready to face the world as an independent woman let alone be able to be responsible for a family any time soon. I still very much feel like a young girl unsure and unprepared for the 'real world.' Which if I am being honest, I thought I would have had the whole, 'package' deal at this age. Only when comparing myself to my friends and those around who have 'it' I find myself freaking out that I have somehow fallen behind without realizing it. Deep breath. As that is not at all truth. I cannot say I regret where I am now. This journey, this adventure, could not be any more exhilarati
