Zen and the art of...

It has been almost a year since I last updated this blog and instead of attempting to summarize the past
 9 months or so, I am merely going to jump right back into things. You, avid reader(s), may be lost for a bit as a life time has come and gone in my absence. But have no fear! The confusion will not last.

I am suprisingly alright with turning 27. When I turned 25, I had a mini break down about getting older and had issues with the realization that I am a full fledged adult. At that time, I didn't feel like I had accomplished anything that I had planned out for myself previously. In the past, I had issues:

I have always felt that I am older than my age.
I have always wondered what it would be like to be an adult.
I have always admired those sophisticated, confident, funny adult people.
I have always felt like I was waiting to have life happen to me.

But at 27, I feel like I am one of those people that I admired and wanted to become. For the first time in my life I feel my age. I woke up one day with confidence and poise. I will admit that I am very surprised at the suddenness of this state of zen. I feel successful, I am happy with my position at work and in life, I have come so far since living out of a suitcase upon first moving to Bakersfield. I live in a beautiful place, I have wonderful friends, and I am finally feeling content with my looks and body. Its very odd, this sudden acceptance, but I am going to roll with it.
