On Turning 30

I’ve planted a lot of seeds in my 20’s – seeds of knowledge, humility, confidence, vulnerability, and self-acceptance. 

I have always feared turning 30 and thought it meant the end of my youth. In some ways it is. It is the beginning of the unraveling of anxieties, storylines, and cultural expectations that plagued my younger years. 

This isn’t really where I imagined I’d be at 30, but I don’t feel ashamed. I’m proud of the fierce commitment I have had to my career, self-development, and creativity. I live a life that is infused with purpose, connection, and that serves others. 

I’m excited to enter this decade of life—to see the seeds I’ve been planting in my 20’s blossom in my 30’s.
