And lord knows that I’ve learned quite a bit in my lifetime that hasn’t been easy to understand the first time around and has taken time to really be drilled into my thicc skull. You silly, silly girl.īut 21 years can teach you a lot (like how adulthood can be fun but it’s definitely not what I imagined as a kid). It feels like just yesterday I was a 10-year-old dreaming of the magical world of adulthood that I thought would be dripping with sunshines and fairy dust, literally oozing with good vibes and good times.
But to think back to the time when I was a wee tot in this world, not really knowing where I was going and hoping that I’d end up somewhere good, is strange to me. I mean, I self-reflect all of the time, maybe even too much. It’s just something that feels blatantly unrealistic, almost like a dream.īut whether I embrace this newfound label with an armful of alcoholic beverages or tuck it away in the ever-growing pile of trash that is “I’ll deal with this later,” Mother Earth has shimmied around the sun 21 times since I was born and there’s no slowing her down (unless the Andromeda Galaxy comes hurling in a little earlier than expected and screws thing up).įor real though, reflecting on these past 21 years of glorious, glorious life is a weird feeling. It’s a celebrity crush that I’ve stalked on social media for years but never thought I’d meet. It’s a foreign, 1,000 mile-away country that I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid but never really thought I’d venture to. But me? Feel like a 21-year-old? HA.Įven just thinking about the age itself doesn’t seem real. And all I can say is…I do not feel like a 21-year-old. It is here, knocking - no, banging on my door like it’s been years since I’ve paid rent. Thank you for everything in between.It’s official, guys. More importantly thank you for the small things. Thank you mom for the big things you've done for me. For telling me when I look beautiful, and being honest with me when I don't. For giving me your nose, and your spirit. For telling me how to do better, and recognizing the pride I have when I give it my all. The truth is I could never thank you enough. Thankfully, you taught me how to be just like you.
How to be feminine and strong all at once. You taught me how to live like a Proverbs 31 woman. But at the same time I am more than ready. It'll be a whole new world for the both of us.
