Cherry

To the Optimist,

The first day of the last month, of my 20’s.

I can’t even express how excited I am to be entering my 30s! I feel like my whole life I’ve been waiting for a moment to know what I deserve in life and to be happy and positive about it all. I’ve been lucky enough to have some tremendous opportunities. I’ve travelled the world I’ve seen things I could have only ever dreamed of and I’ve been mentored by some of the best future leaders of the world. Going into 30 is the most exciting thing I’ve ever accomplished in my life. looking back at everything I’ve been through I can’t even imagine a life of such privilege of such happiness of such shear adventure support and love. I’ve truly always had it all and Ive lived my life to its absolute fullest I pushed the line as far as I could. Whatever comes next is just extra, whatever comes next Is the cherry on top. It’s like getting that extra free-throw that might win you a ball game, it’s like all of your friends showing up out of nowhere to surprise you for your 30th birthday. It’s like seeing your family only once every six months and them still loving you. Whatever happens moving forward is icing on the cake.

Love from Longbow Lake
