- 🧩 Figuring "It" Out | Pulse Of The Nation
I sometimes forget how old I am. Scary, I know, but honestly I just forget. Am I 26 turning 27? Was that last year? Birthdays just don’t have the same splendor and excitement that they used to. Maybe it’s just me.
I still feel like I’m 22. Some days I even feel 16. I guess I just thought once I reached my late 20’s I would feel like I had everything under control. The dream career path, a booming side hustle, more money and time then I know what to do with. (In case it isn’t obvious, I don’t feel like I have everything under control).
As I look ahead to my 28th birthday (I think it’s 28…) there is really only one thing I know for certain. That I still don’t have “it” figured out. I don’t think anyone really ever has it figured out. I feel silly that I’ve spent so much time trying to figure “it” out. When in fact, I should have accepted the fact that I never will.
That isn’t a bad thing either. I’m excited to get older, to experience new things in life. Have bigger and better accomplishments. Life is amazing and I certainly am grateful. But it’s not like at 27 everything all started to make sense and “click”. Maybe that will happen at 28. 😉
