30 - Post 1

There are 30 days until I’ll be 30 years old! Wow, that sounds like a lie, haha! I don’t feel old enough to be able to say thirty! I am however, really psyched to say goodbye to my twenties! The last decade has been hard in different ways than I ever thought it would be as a kid and teen. Not everything was bad though, I’m going to highlight lots of topics! This is a formal goodbye to my twenties and an excited step forward into my thirties! I’ve been working on a series called “Memoirs of an American Girl” && I’m going to share a few of those, deep dive into my hobbies, interests and different aspects of life that are important to each of us. Some political topics, social media, different cultural trends and some of my various life experiences. I had pictures taken by a photographer recently for these posts, I have dug through old computer files, notes and collected old pictures! I’m really excited and tremendously nervous for this blog series!

I’ve done a great intentional job of hiding so many parts of myself from everyone for most of my life because my experiences just seem to surprise people honestly 🤣 I am not someone who likes to be vulnerable and talk about things I’ve been through that cause the views I have because most people I have encountered seem to just not have encountered the things I have. Then I realized the people I could be connecting with who have similar views, experiences and devastation could reap benefit from my expression. Maybe even reach out and make a new connection. I’d love to hear from anyone interested during these next 30 days! The photos in this post are two I took myself from home with my home studio. That is something I’m going to talk a lot more about later in the month. I thought the pic of me running was a great picture for this post because I literally feel like I’m taking the best parts of myself and running for my life away from my twenties 😂💁🏻‍♀️ PS. There will be two posts today, one this morning and one later because yesterday was a really bad day for me and it didn’t feel right to start this journey 💕
