I recently finished a book called Quarter-life Crisis. It's basically about all of the changes, conflicts, and confusion that one goes through during this time. While I can't say I learned much from the book, I did gain a bit of validation... like, I'm not as crazy as I thought I was... or at least, I'm not alone.
When I turned 26 I told someone I wished I would have taken notes on my twenties... journaled and documented every little moment. So much had happened and I'd already started to forget much of it
(not because of age, i've been forgetful since i was three.)
It just all seems to happen so quickly that in the end we really only seem to remember the BIG events of our lives. For obvious reasons... they're BIG.

And while I am in no way demeaning the magnitude and importance of those whoppers, (getting engaged, witnessing the birth of my niece, graduating from college, when we bought our house, getting my first "real" job, our wedding, rescuing Poh...) I feel that it's been all of the little moments (that I can't remember) which have had the most impact on who I am right now. It's all of the little bits and pieces that have led up to the larger ones.
All of those smaller...
moments of pure joy...
All of those smaller...
moments of peace...
moments of disappointment...
moments of wonder...
moments of utter silliness....
Those were the moments that shaped and formed who I've grown to be...
those are the moments I hope to share here.
With one week left before I turn 30 (talk about grown) I finally set out to start this blog (a goal I set on my 29th birthday.) My intention is to be more present and more honest (with myself most of all); to honor and appreciate where I am in this journey. Whether it be through image or word...
whether it makes any sense or not, it will be
every little bit of me.
