Twenty-four has been a unique year. I remember being eighteen and thinking I felt twenty-four, yet not actually knowing what the age really felt like. I can say it’s a lot better than my little eighteen-year-old self thought it would be. So much sweeter and richer. This has been a year of truly learning to love me.

Eighteen I felt wild and careless. It was easier to say yes to things and jump out without knowing what would catch me. Twenty-four feels so much more secure. I take longer to make decisions because I’ve experienced what jumping in without thinking feels like. I feel more confident in who I am, not because of time, but because I’ve fought for it.

I’ve learned to trust my decisions and what I feel. Learned to go after what I want without holding back. I’ve allowed myself to explore new things without judgment. Being able to do that took work, and I had a lot of judgments about myself.

But twenty-four has been a year of slowly falling in love with who I am. Loving the way I look when I’m cozy at home on the floor of my room. Loving the blush colors of my room and the neutral tones of my clothes. Learning to love the slow days at home, a cup of tea or a new soup I learned to make. Absolutely loving the weekly trips to the local bread shop and then eating it almost every day in various ways. Loving the fact that the only shoes that are on my feet most days are Birkenstocks—wearing the same clothes weekly in different variations. Discovering a love for tank tops in 100-degree weather, which I used to feel insecure in.

Loving dancing in my bathroom to the music in my head and finding all the different ways my face changes. Taking baths in the dim lights with my favorite magnolia candle. Not getting out until I’m well wrinkled with granny fingers. It’s been such a sweet season. There have been many ups and downs and many days of struggling through, but lately, I’ve been soaking a little deeper into the sweetness. You’re only twenty-four once, I want to make sure I fully soak her in.
