In the time that I haven't posted, I have waved my teens away and stumbled upon the twenties.
On the 29th of August I turned 20. I have very mixed feelings about this. In one way I am sad to not be a teenager anymore.
In another way I realise it is just a number.
I don't have to suddenly stop being the same person. I don't have to stop laughing at immature jokes, enjoy laying in the grass and watching the clouds or suddenly shun Mary Poppins.
I am still the same person I was when I was nineteen and I'm glad that I'll never truly grow up in my heart even if when I look in the mirror I'm growing up.
I had the most wonderful birthday from the moment I opened my eyes to bunches of flowers outside my door, to a quaint beach picnic on a wharf, to pizza with amazing company, to almost peeing my pants laughing at the theatres improv night, that too many of my friends and I invaded.
I'm not so much of a party girl so I traded the usual grog fest for something that was more my style and I couldn't have more of a wonderful day!
I wanted this birthday to be so special. I even bought this terribly overpriced dress for the occasion. It was perfect.
I am so lucky!

I love both outfits but especially the peach top. It reminds me of a 1920's dress that I saw on Etsy and now might have to buy.
ReplyDeleteBased on experience, your 20's are going to be much more fun than your teens.

ReplyDeleteI am NOT looking forward to ageing (I shall not use the term 'growing up' because I believe I never will), but 20 IS just a number. You are still beautiful, stylish and have your whole life ahead of you. But of course you put that all much better than I did. Happy belated birthday! :D
