Turning 30
LOVE
As I near 30 years old. I know I have been in love one and a half times. I know you are thinking, a half? How? But I will get to that.
I spent my early 20’s with my first love. If you would have asked me at that time I would have told you he was my forever. We were each other’s first loves and we got to experience that together. We
became part of each other’s families. We were each other’s biggest fans. We watched each other start our careers and grow into adults. In the end, who I was at 21 and who I was at 25 turned out to be two very different people.
Part of growing up in my 20’s was realizing that sometimes you grow
apart from people. And you have no choice but to let go. It’s not easy, but it’s important to do what’s necessary to make you happy in the long run. Relationships run their course and I am forever grateful
for everything I learned in those five and a half years.
