Hello my beautiful friends! Its my birthday month, I am 26 years old. I know its silly to be freaking out about my age but that its just the person that I am. Every year close to my birthday I get overly emotional and a bit depressed about turning a year older. How silly is that? I'm a healthy 26 year old who is very blessed in life and I'm thankful to be alive & healthy Grateful for everything I have but it still gets to me & I want to be open about it. It's been 10 years since I was 16 I have grown in so many ways and in others I have stayed the same. I remember getting asked often where I would be in 10 years at the age of 16 and here I am. Could I have done more up to now? maybe. I'm content however with the changes in my life. I thought it would be fun to write to my 16 year old self. Things change and age is just a number but what comes with age is a lot of knowledge and life experiences. I look back at some of my pictures & I want to hug that 16 ye
