So I'm 20 now. Not a teenager.
And that is really strange, that intellectual knowledge.
Usually, when people my age turn 20, they think about how much they haven't accomplished, all the things they should have done by now
(And typically, here, those lists include things like starting NGO's, making a scientific discovery, or solving the hunger crisis)
BUT
I think I have actually accomplished a lot for my 20 years, and as I enter my 3rd decade (thanks, mom, for that reminder), I know I have places to go and people to see, but I have come a long way.
For one, I am in a university which allows me to explore the world, and interact with many beyond my own borders, and that is invaluable. Because of that, I will need a new passport before my old one expires.
I have amazing family and friends who are some of the most supportive and loving people that I know.
I am starting to figure out myself as an artist, a theater maker.
And I know I am still young, and still figuring things out, and still have an amazing amount of naivety and faith towards the goodness of people, but I have also been through some flames and come out stronger for it.
I am entering my 3rd decade in a state of healing, growth, hope, and confidence. I am excited for the prospects this decade offers.
