Sex & The City Quote:
“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”
My birthday is quickly approaching, September 9th...what a special day as I will turn the last year in my 20's....29! I am excited and a little freaked out at the same time. I've heard so many people in their 30's and beyond say that your 30's are WAY better than your 20's. You've finally found yourself, you're wiser, sexier, and you've got a pretty nice bank account too! That all sounds spectacular but what about the YOUTH and FUN of my 20's? Yes, I admit my 20's were a LOOONNNNG and BUMPY road. There was a struggle in finding myself in my early 20's with a lot of rebellion and foolish, risky behavior, but I think I am finally figuring myself out and who I want to be in this life. But DAYUM, I have had some GOOD TIMES! I have met and have become closer to some AMAZING friends that I will never let go. However, looking ahead in my 30's I foresee a stable relationship with the man I love, security, more money in the bank, increased sex drive, professional growth and accomplishment, improved relationships with friends and family, etc.... It's exciting! It's so true, your 20's are to make your mistakes, your 30's are to learn from your mistakes - that's the key difference.

Southern Belle at heart, I am one of the VERY few in my PP Group who remain in Dixie. My blog's main purpose is to keep up with my Best Friends, many who have moved away to various parts of the country. Life is about change, growth and experiencing new loves. But there is nothing out there to replace your true friends. So this blog serves a purpose as a diary of my life, thoughts, interests, loves and I hope you may find some inspiration from it. Life is a journey, so enjoy the ride.
