My goal was to answer all the prompts, not necessarily to post every day or else finish them all in December. SO, on we go.
December 29 Defining Moment
Describe a defining moment or series of events that has affected your life this year.
Well.
Joining a gym and doing home renovations made me feel three things: first, that I was a grownup (you'd think I'd feel that way by now, being married and graduated and having a job and owning a house and all, but sometimes I just feel like I'm still a kid) and second, that I was moving toward something, and third, that I had some semblance of control over my life.
These are very good feelings. These are empowering feelings. Especially the one where I feel in control. I can't complain.
yeah, it's shocking to me how rarely, even as i sit here 6 months from 30, i think of myself as a "grown-up." i get such a weird little charge when i do things with my law degree, for example. "ooh, i am doing grown-up things. look at me." good to see i'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteYour home renovations have been inspiring this year. Seriously...I can't imagine doing everything you've done in a year.
