And so it begins...

I'm not sure when it happened but somehow I have turned 29!!!  It is truly hard to believe that in a short 364 days I will officially be in my 30s. And I know that I'm not the only one who finds that fact hard to believe.  Ask anyone and they will tell you how young they think I am.  I get it all the time; getting carded for R-rated movies, being told that I look like one of the students, asking if I need a kids menu; not a day goes by that I don't have to prove my age.  And yes, I do look young but I think a big part of it is that I have never really acted my age.  I am your typical 90s kid, wanting the impossible, to never grow up and just have fun.  Yes...I have Peter Pan Syndrome!  Well, if I am being honest, I really am more of a Wendy; wanting adventure but knowing that there are responsibilities to be had and a whole grown up life waiting for me.  But that grown up life doesn't start for another 364 days in my eyes.  So this next year will be dedicated to living life to it's fullest and enjoying the last year of my 20s.  I have created a list (no not a 30 before 30 list).  Think of it like a 20s Bucket List.  Things that I have been putting off either because of time or because of fear.  Things that I have really always wanted to do but have always found and excuse not to accomplish them.  And that is what this blog is all about...enjoying 29 and finding Neverland, and hopefully in the process, finding me!  So feel free to check in every now and then to see how the adventure is coming, because really, "To live will be an awfully big adventure!"

  1. It probably doesn't help that you have been known to actually order off of the kid's menu...

    I'm pretty excited to see this list. It may even inspire me to add to mine (it currently only contains "graduate before 30").

  2. Haha... love that I was there to witness you being carded for an R film :) This is a great idea! Can I play too? I'm with Taylor with the 'graduate before 30'...though that probably won't happen... 'submit my thesis before 30' may though!

    -Visit Wales (will be checked)
    -Harry Potter experience (will be checked)

    Can't wait to see the rest!
