Birthdays are always a little terrifying for me. They are sort of like New Year’s – such a build up and then you’re usually left feeling a little disappointed and exhausted! But the bonus of birthdays is that I always realize how grateful I am for the all the loved ones in my life. All it takes is a simple “Happy Birthday” and it reminds you of how many lives are intertwined with yours.
This year, I am finishing off my twenties! Eek! Where did the time go?? Yes, it is slightly terrifying but at the same time, I am so thankful for these years of growth, trial and error, and, of course, a ton of fun. So many memories and so many lessons learned!! I want to make sure I finish off this decade right and live to the fullest extent. I mean, who knows what my Thirties will bring!! What a better way to start than making a list of some of my goals, right?
Here are 29 things in my 29th year:
- Learn how to use my Nana’s vintage sewing machine properly
- Read at least 29 new books
