The BIG Three O

Today I am mourning.

Mourning my twenties.

Because tomorrow they are gone forever.

The thought of it makes my insides twist with fear.

This transition scares me.


But honestly I'm trying really hard to be accepting of the frightful thirty. Learning to embrace the tiny lines around my eyes, the sun spots and the ruddy complexion I possess.


Aging is beautiful? I'm telling myself. I think the beauty in it comes not from the aging but from the accepting and rejoicing in the process.

I'll try. I'll try.
