35

i say this with much trepidation. i think mostly because i can't believe it.

but i turned 35.

i don't know why, this one has been a hard one for me to swallow.

i think its because in my mind i'm frozen at 24. i remember being in yw and when i would see my leaders who were 35, i would just think 'they are so old'.

now i'm there.

i don't feel that old.

i always told myself i would embrace every year, that each year adds to your character and builds who you are. this year, i am trying, it's just been harder getting there.
