On December 22, I turn 35.
Unlike most people, I enjoy getting older.

That girl was so lost and confused.
She had yet to discover her worth, her values, or how important it was to be herself.
She didnt know it was okay tosimply be her.

Its authentic, and its meaningful.
I thought,maybe Ill change my mind.
Maybe Ill be happier if I had a boyfriend.Society says so, right?
First, you have tofeel complete on your own.
Another great thing about turning 35 is being confident about the choices I have made.

By Michigan standards, I am probably considered unfortunate.
Nevertheless, this is me living my best life, andits the life I chose.
Each night I felt empty inside, drinking wine until I fell asleep toAccording to Jim.
It was my journey to live.
Although Im happy to write about these experiences, its not up for discussion or debate with anyone else.
And today, I finally know that.
At 35, I know my life is meant for me to live and no one else.
