The Twenty's

I just turned twenty and everyone's telling me "enjoy your 20's" and that has me thinking a lot about my second stage of life...the stage where I begin my biggest adventures but also the stage of really starting my life. 

I want to travel the world. Every place I get the chance to go to, I'm going to take it. I'll be graduating college in the next 2 and half years and will soon start my career after that. What will my career be? What will I make of myself? I want nothing more than to be successful and conquer all my dreams and aspirations.

Then comes starting a family. Marriage and children. I've always thought that 25-27 would be the perfect age to marry...to have babies young enough to grow up with them and still be an active mom. Wow...mom...that's so weird...all of that stuff is so far away yet seems so close. So exciting yet terrifying at the same time.

I know I must sound crazy thinking about all this, but turning twenty came so fast...I just know everything is creeping around the corner. I'm not wanting to rush anything or wanting all of this now cause if I did I would be insane...but just think about it...I could be a Mrs. and mom in the next 5-8 years...unbelievable.  

Until then, I will live my life as a young, independent, strong woman chasing my dreams and I won't stop until I get them.
