To do list.

I will be turning 24-years-old in a month and its starting to hit me. At first I think to myself--"Oh my gosh, you're so old and grown up." But then I get real and realize--"Oh my gosh, you're so young and have so much to live!"

I have never felt more confident in the fact that mid-20's is the best age ever! You're old enough to do your own thing and your young enough to still have the time to waste. You don't have the responsibilities of a family but you do have a handsome man to love and live life with. You don't have an intense career but you are working hard toward building that future for yourself. You're older now and you and your siblings all get along. You've lived through enough to have learned so many legit lessons making you so much smarter and capable. I'm telling ya--life is good.

Life is good and I'm going to take advantage of that. If I were to think to myself what I wanted to do before I turned 30--I think I could have a little fun! Things I want to do with my family, my boyfriend, my friends, myself. So much to do--so lets jot it down.
