This year, I will be turning 27 which I am actually super stoked about. It is my champagne year and 27 one of my favourite numbers. My 27th birthday also marks the shift from my mid to my late twenties. I'm proud of my age, and I am looking forward to the wisdom this new year will bring.
You know, in the past, whenever I talked about getting married I would say that the ages 25 or 27 were the best ages to get married. Looking back on who I was at 25, I know that there was definitely room for self-improvement. Looking forward to 27, well anything can happen but, unless I have a courtship as quick as Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra, I don't think I'll be getting married this year either.
I also don't really feel "settled" yet career-wise/financially either. There are so many things that I'd like to - need to - accomplish and improve with my career. I thought that by now I'd be financially independent. While having a family won't prevent me from advancing in my career, I'd like to know that I can provide for myself first and not still be at the struggle stage. I'll admit there are still times when I look at my life and wonder which patterns I'm repeating that are keeping me from growing in my career and moving forward in my life.
I am glad that I have friends who are thriving in their careers because they inspire me to want more for myself and improve myself. I've learned a lot throughout these past years and one of them was learning to be less annoyed and not quick-tempered nor easily upset and that has been a huge improvement. I'm glad that I don't get easily triggered and can remain calm and logical and not take offence.
I don't want to waste these last three years of my twenties. I believe in my dreams, and I believe that I can be the person I always wanted to be.
