As I rapidly approach my mid-20’s I’ve felt some stress up in my chest thinking about where I am in relation to where I thought I would be when I was younger. In the midst of me hustling/bustling/and fussing I encounter head-on, life’s [constant] cycles. It was only 3 and a half years ago I felt on top of the world. It was 2008, I was in my 2nd semester junior year of college, I just turned 21 (the first out of all my close friends) and we literally partied like rockstars my entire B-day weekend. We were all on a cloud, excited about being closer to done with college, ready to enter the real world.
But now that I am about to be 25 and instead of feeling on top of everything that is life (like I did at 21), I look up and realize there is another mountain to climb. So Im learning that’s just life. As soon as you are done tackling a project. As soon as you master a skill. As soon as you top yourself… there is more work awaiting you, more skills to learn, and more focus and balance to attain. More distractions, steeper hills, and tougher climate conditions. Luckily, if you didn’t cheat your way to the top of your latest accomplishments, you will realize you are properly equipped with all the tools you need to build for the next feat.
I have to admit, Im tired of climbing. This time I plan on using my wings to fly to the top!
