2019. Such an odd number... but maybe odd is good. We need to shake things up and be reminded that it is okay to be uncomfortable and find contentment in a state of the in-between.
I just turned 22! (even though it is tempting, please do not begin singing Taylor Swift in your head! I want a different theme song for this year. I am thinking something like Masterpiece by Jesse J. Look it up if you don't know it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=888dYl07d88)
"I still fall on my face sometimes, and I can't color inside the lines 'cause I'm perfectly incomplete. I'm still working on my masterpiece"
This is the year that I am a real adult. It isn't about being able to drive, it isn't freedom from parents, it isn't about being able to get into a bar, and it isn't yet about hitting midlife and reevaluating everything. This is year is about self-discovery, vulnerability, trying new things, and experiencing the world in all of its glory, creating who I want to be each step of the way.
A LOT has changed for me this past year; I have lived in four different places, met so many amazing people, started and ended a full time job, finished a semester at Perkins School of Theology, chose to adopt a kitten, and developed and changed in ways I had no way to predict or prepare for. I am extremely thankful for every last bit of it.
2019 is an odd year, but it is a year of possibilities, and I hope that there are moments of joy, love, laughter, and growth for everyone in this coming year. Life is not always packaged into a neat little box, but it is always full of surprises and potential for good. :)
Here is to a new year!
