Go Find Alice

So.. I turned 29 last week! It was also the first time in 11 years (since I turned 18) that I had celebrated it with my entire family. I felt rather introspective this week so I made this video and recorded some of my reflections.

My 20s (thus far) certainty did not turn out the way I had planned. The tides changed more times than I could count and everything I had thought was certain turned out differently than I expected. I moved 13 or 14 times (I think? I've lost count.) I experienced lots of love and loss, grief and agony, joy and wonder. I realized that while you can't stop the waves from happening, you can learn to move with them. They may not take you in the direction that you had planned, but they will take you exactly where you are meant to be.
