feelings that arose on my 20th birthday

here's to 20💖🎉

I've mentioned a couple of times this week that I was anxious af about entering my twenties, and the idea of it was not appealing to me at all.

Then I read some advice you guys DM'd me, which shifted my perspective, and now I actually feel kinda excited!! Age is just a number. Today is no different from yesterday, except I get to receive extra attention and love 🤪❤️. And if I'm really being honest, I feel like i'm actually a 30 something year old in a 20-year-old body. Numbers don't define you. Whether it be the number on the scale, the number of followers you have, what size you wear, your grades, the number of calories you eat, etc.

A lot happens in your twenties, and I'm excited for what is to come. I definitely have a couple of goals for this year, and I want to share them. I look forward to the day that I can look back on these and say I that I accomplished them :)

🎈stop avoiding social settings, traveling, and taking photos because of how I feel about my body.

🎈stop feeling the need to need to seek approval from the people around me. the only person who needs to approve of me is myself.

🎈start doing more things that are good for my soul and benefit others, like volunteer work and community service!

🎈be more open minded. redefine areas and people in my life that I have labeled as "bad" and let go of resentments.

🎈be careful and selective about who I trust and open up to.

🎈get better at keeping in touch with friends who I don't get to see often.

p.s. the life in full color cake 😭😭😭😍
