even though i find it scary how quickly time passes, i do love birthdays. This one is particularly interesting. i am at a stage in my life where many things are undecided, many doors wide open, many questions unanswered.
but there are also some things that i do know.
at twenty-three i know...
-that living on your own is hard, sometimes lonely but also fun and liberating
-that being a grown up often means to suck it up, get up and show up (and to dress up, but that's the fun part)
-that even though equal rights for men and women have been established ages ago women still have to fight harder
-that music is one of the greatest gifts god gave to humanity and that almost nothing has as much healing power as folk bands
-that it is okay to sometimes want your mama to make everything okay even though you're strong and independent and grown up
-that feeling beautiful has little to do with how much you weigh or with someone telling you that you are
-that there's nothing sweeter and more exciting than forgiveness and grace that's new every day
-that good friends are worth more than gold.
some flowers i picked with my mum - oh beautiful country life!
