I’m an adult. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, dreaming and pining for since I was 13 and couldn’t wait to grow up.
And now… here I am.
Able to go anywhere, do anything, be anything. WOW.
So now what?
I find myself wasting so much time, unsure how to use it.
What do I even do with all this time?
If I were smarter I would be taking bolder moves.
And slowly, I am.

The thing is…life doesn’t always unfold the way you imagine.
The dream doesn’t land on cue.
But I’m stubborn as a mule and despite the piercing disappointments, I continue to stay open to the magic. I continue to dream on and carry on. It just feels better that way.
I’m at a good age. Old enough to know more of myself, young enough to make the world my oyster. I feel confident enough. Okay enough. Grounded enough.
But some days I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself. I feel a bit alone yet so full of life.
These were the days I dreamt about!! So now what?
“Dream on little dreamer.
Follow all of your signs.
You gotta gather up what you need,
You gotta choose a direction.
And when the moment is right for you,
You gotta go. You gotta keep your ideals high. You got to know that the sky belongs to no one. You know you got to go.” – Above & Beyond
It’s both frightening and beautiful when you begin to break free of the shackles holding you back from being whole. When you begin to shed old skin and birth anew.
When you begin to recognize your value and embrace the courage to speak up and soar above those who consciously or unconsciously tried to pull you down. And many times that person was yourself. But not any longer. Today is the day to break free.
