I just turned 24 this past weekend and I kept thinking to myself, "what does 24 mean? 24 years of being on this Earth? of discovering myself?". Honestly, the realization of my age didn't hit me until I was doing my makeup the night of my birthday party. I put down my eyeshadow brush, looked at myself with a shocked expression, and then picked up my brush and continued on.
24 is so young, yet it's many years of memories and of growing up. I can honestly say I've learned a lot about myself. I know what my interests are and what makes me happy. I know I have a good heart and I'm always there for people. I know that no matter what happens, I always get through it.
Getting older is both frightening and exciting all at the same time. The future scares me sometimes because you don't know what's ahead, but then I start to think of everything good that could happen in the future and that makes it worth waiting. I may not be where I want to be at this point in time, but at least I'm somewhere. I'm doing what I love, writing, which has brought me some great opportunities. I'm surrounded by my family and some great friends, and my dog :).
23 was great and all, but I'm willing to make 24 my best year yet! Look out world, Ilana is coming for you!
