Hello 2020s!

Oh the end of year/decade(!) feeeeeels 😌

I looked up some photos from 2010 and laughed about how different yet same I am now. I forgot that I had red hair but clearly recall my happy heart. A teenage girl bursting with anticipation, about to move to LA and start college as a design major, naively unaware of the unpredictable ride set before her. ⁣

This year was a rough one. But up until yesterday, I didn’t feel quite ready to part with it. I felt the weight of an entire decade on my shoulders. That’s when I witnessed the purple sky turning blue within minutes - and reflective words began to flow like water. ⁣

2010s 💓 I experienced & learned much. I don’t regret anything, but I also don’t want to repeat anything. Both good & bad. I’m leaving the 2010s at the door.

Aging is a beautiful thing. I’m not only growing more comfortable in my own skin, but also learning to OWN it 😉 I realize that being aware of my fragility makes me more powerful than weak. Creating freely & loving wholeheartedly still brings me joy. ⁣Long gone are the days of spontaneity, I cherish routine and stability.
⁣
I'm no longer the same girl I was at the brink of the 2010s, but I still believe everything can change in a single moment. & I’m believing that over my life in #2020 🙏🏻 You haven't seen my best just yet 😘
