This is a departure for me. I consider myself a poor writer in all text book ways, however there is so much to share I find that it's time to conquer my inadequacy and blog.
This October I will be turning thirty and this has been pressing heavily on my mind. My twenties where tumultuous, frightening, manic, and jammed filled with experiences. In a decade I got married twice, had two children and buried one of them, was confined to a wheelchair, gained and lost 100lbs TWICE, held aprox. 10 jobs, and spent some time in mental hospitals. You may be understanding why taking the decade as a whole is a bit overwhelming. What the past ten years has given me is peace and a higher level of emotional evolution. I have fought through the pain of my past to the point I no longer blame who I was or what I did on the situations and people that formed me. That being said I am far from perfect. What I am is able to truly accept myself for what I am this very moment, the good, the bad, and the ugly, my true whole self. I half joke with friends that some parts of my emotional brain are just broken, this isn't entirely fiction, parts of me are broken and have been for a long time. When I found peace was when I could love myself even with those broken pieces and not feel like something less.
Anyway. I carried all that garbage and baggage through a decade. No longer. Thirty is liberating! I have dredged through the most horrible parts of life and come out a more beautiful soul. My joy will be sharing my ups and downs with you all.
