Last week I turned 30. Leading up to the momentous day, several people asked me how I felt leaving my twenties and entering a new decade. My honest response? I feel fine. No sadness. No regrets. I think I accomplished everything I hoped to accomplish thus far: I started my career, met my future husband, planted a church, got married, had a baby, and am working in the industry I always wanted to work in. Part of me wonders if I’ve set my sights too low. Should my twenties to-do list have been longer? At the end of the day — and the decade — I’ve decided it’s all about perspective. The past ten years of my life have been full of many, many things, good and bad. And that’s life, no matter how you slice it. So here’s to my twenties and to the next ten years.
I think you’ve done more than enough within 10 years. Probably was good not to mention that your parents got divorced, although it would have notched the stress level you endured. I found your blog in my spam just now.
Just found this in my spam. If you were to have added that you endured your parents divorce, would have upped the “made it through” a decade a bit.
