Where Will I Be In Another 23 Years?
I definitely couldn’t have predicted my first 23 years.
Thank you to everyone that has already wished me a happy birthday. I appreciate each of you.
Today is my birthday. I am now twenty-three years old. I feel like I was twenty-two for three years. My age comes up a lot in conversation, because I tend to be an old-fashioned soul. People who know me in real life (and even on here) think of me as being older. THANKFULLY, people who don’t know me assume that I am in college. So, I know that I look my age, but fortunately, I don’t always act like it. 🙌😂
Something about this year feels different though. I know I am still young, but I used to talk about this age specifically. I remember marrying my husband and telling him that I wanted a baby around 23. At the age of 20, 23 seemed so far away. And even though in some ways I felt like each birthday was very spaced apart, it’s also flown by in other ways.
With certain things that I went through, there was absolutely no possible way for me to ever predict where I would be today.
So, I can’t help but wonder where I will be in the next 23 years.
