I Am

Speaking with friends and family the past few weeks about turning 30, and what that entails is quite interesting. It has made me realize that this point of life is the first time that I am not about to do, or about to be something. I am.

I Am not about to 

 I just Am

I Am a college graduate

 I Am a career woman

 I Am a wife

I Am and activist

 I Am 

My twenties were so full of pressure and pull to plan to be something, plan to go to school, plan to find the one, plan to find a career, a home, or plan to adopt pets. Now,  being where I am, I feel like I can finally look around and appreciate where I am instead of blindly and fervently planning my next degree, career move, or significant milestone.
