As I approached my 29th
birthday, I realized there were a lot of things I hadn't yet done in my
life. For those who know me well, you know that indulging in myself is
not something that comes very easily for me. I have a hard time taking
the time, energy, and money to do stuff for me. I decided it was time to
get better at it.
So I created a list of 30 things that I will do before I turn 30. For the most part, the things are not super extravagant. It's not meant to be a list of the most fun, crazy, etc. things I could do before I turn 30. Rather, it's a list of 30 things I've always wanted to do, that for whatever reason I haven't allowed myself to do, or simply have not taken the time to do them. In some cases the things seem little and trivial (and maybe they are). But they are things I've always wanted to do. It's not a bucket list - I don't believe "my life is over" at 30. Quite the opposite in fact...perhaps it's just begun! :-) I plan to provide updates throughout the next year...so stay tuned!
