Gone ’til November

This was probably the best November I’ve ever had–well maybe except for the November I was born. If you’re just tuning in, I recently turned 30, which is something I didn’t put much thought into until it was staring me in the face. I kind of purposely didn’t put too much thought into it because I didn’t want to overthink it and be overwhelmed.

We put too much pressure on ourselves before and during milestone birthday years. We tell ourselves we have to accomplish certain things, live a certain way and just have it all together. Who made those rules up? Society? Our family? Social media? Who said I can’t move at my own pace and be sure about the decisions I make? I made a declaration the day before I turned 30 that I would only make goals that I can control and that are important to me. I will not be bound to anyone else’s projections on who I should be. It’s my life, don’t you forget.
