Today marks the last day of my twenties. Life really does pass by quickly. If I died tomorrow, I wouldn’t be happy with what I’ve accomplished. I followed “the rules” of life. Get the career. Save the money. Start that 401k. Buy the house. And for what? An entire decade to pass without feeling fulfilled? This past year, I finally unapologetically loved who I am. I lost people along the way. And that’s ok. We aren’t meant to please everyone. What I do know is life is too short to feel unfulfilled. So what fills your heart? What makes you happy? I’ve enjoyed making people laugh this summer during what felt like a dark time for so many. I’ve enjoyed learning from my diverse community and hearing their stories. You all have taught me so much! I don’t know what the future holds for me but I’m excited to bring you all along for the ride! I will passionately pursue a fulfilled life and refuse to let this next decade pass by without purpose. 🤍 📸: @mandeerae
