Well, dear readers, I am now 28 years old. I have to say, I've been hearing for years how the late 20s are when you blossom, when you're most comfortable with yourself and blah blah blah. And you know what? It's true.
This year, my birthday present to myself is this: I am going to stop trying to be what I'm not and stop beating myself up for not being that.
It's a little difficult to articulate exactly what I mean by that but the blog is a good example. I am constantly berating myself for not updating more and in a more logical manner but the truth is, sometimes I'm too busy living my life to write about it.
June and July (so far) have been difficult, for many reasons. There are times I felt that everything that could go wrong have and it's been very frustrating. I had a lovely birthday that made me feel like maybe I've turned the corner and I'm going to take that feeling and run with it.
It's no secret I've been listening to Graceland a lot lately and there's a reason beyond the fact that it's a great album. I'll leave you with this:
There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means,
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

this entry made me tear up. you have always been so hard on yourself and i am so happy to hear you are going to be good to yourself instead. wonderful. you are who you are supposed to be. you're not supposed to be anyone else.
i don't really know how to articulate this either, but i think you know what i mean.
