I never thought I’d make it this far. Okay, now that that’s out of the way, let’s begin. When I started writing this post, I thought to keep it simple and just list things I'm happy about, grateful for, and want to improve as I go into my 3rd decade of mortal existence. Since I drafted that post and now, the actual date, many things have happened:
That being said, I will never be grateful enough for all the good things that have happened, especially over the last few months and years. To the people around me (even the ones I probably see too much of), thank you for sticking around =). Last year, a friend asked if I was afraid of turning 30 this year. I said, “I’m not afraid of turning 30, I’m more afraid of looking back and forward and realizing that I’ve been wasting my life, not working towards a purpose I resonated with.” There are many things to be grateful for, to be happy about, to improve, and to look forward to. While I don’t really feel much of a change, I thought this’ll be a great avenue to take stock and appreciate the good, the bad, and the future. Happiness and Gratitude As I turn 30, I would say that I’m incredibly grateful for the following (to spare all of you from exposition):
Improvements At the same time, I only hope to go on and try to improve myself on these areas as well:
What’s Up Ahead While I take a break this coming quarter, I’m looking forward to:
# I’ve never really been fully confident in myself - I’ll be the first one to admit that it’s incredibly difficult for me to compartmentalize and organize. However, another good friend gave me a good piece of advice:
"In a time where you have no idea who "yourself" is, try reframing it to think about who you want to be." We are a combination of our own stories and doings, after all. I have so much more to say, and so many more people to thank. But to be incredibly concise, I’m grateful that with the support of my friends and family, I do feel improved, at least in this aspect. So now that I’m entering the third decade, here’s to another decade of living, learning, loving, and pretty much, new adventures!
