Now I know a lot of you won't have much sympathy for me, but turning 25 seems like a pretty big milestone for me. I feel like a lot of my friends use their age to direct where they should be in their lives (married, having children, career, etc). I have come to realize that age is simply a number, and you have to just live life. Being 25 and not having money, a full time career, a boyfriend, debts the size of Mount Everest seems to pale in comparison to what I do have: an amazing family that continues to support and love me in all that I do, my sense of independence and adventure I have come to embrace, a loving and caring "family" in England that always ensure I am taken care of, friends that continuously support, surprise and motivate me. I have a very optimistic look on life and view it as a "glass half-full" experience. I love the life I have lived for 25 years, through the challeneges, heartache, loss, joy, triumphs, success and failures. I truly am a lucky lady and I want to say a personal thank you to everyone who has been a part of my life. Obviously a big thank you to my parents for raising me to strive to be my best. No grandkids yet, but I think my maturity level should fill that void for a few more years ;)
Good night all - much love xo
