Tomorrow I turn 26.
Since turning 25, I have -
Drank like a pirate with my sweetest friends
Worked a wonderful office job that taught me more about being a good person than I could have hoped for
Played board games with wonderful humans
Traveled to Iceland
Seen the Northern Lights
Dressed as The Creep and danced my butt off at a Halloween house party
Started and experienced eight months of life changing therapy
Walked through the snow and rain, dressed as Wes Anderson characters, to take pictures in front of the ice caves
Flown to Phoenix to visit a dear friend
Made a Thanksgiving turkey and celebrated with friends
Flown to Los Angeles and decided it was time to move here and try something new
Started taking improv classes
Assisted with a variety of Jesse Morrow shows
Made a podcast (never released)
Flown back to LA to plan our big move
Sold everything I owned
Went to Reno for a wonderful wedding, danced my butt off
Packed my car with everything I still owned and moved to LA
Walked a broken gas stove 20 blocks
Seen improv and comedy shows with my favorite comedians
Gone on a few wonderful dates
Learned a lot about what I want
Been in a car accident
Started a new job
Made new friends
Let go of a lot of pain
Healed
Grown
Laughed
Cried
Lost weight
Explored my new home
Gained confidence
25 has been one of the most difficult and most incredible years of my life. Here is to 26. To new beginnings. To a new, stronger me. To following dreams. To being honest with myself. To trying new things.
This is the life I want and I am going to embrace the hell out of it.
