30 is the new lindsey

I didn't think I wanted to broadcast the news that I am officially 30 years old...
but thinking about what the past 10 years of my life has taught me makes me kind of proud.
I'm glad I'm not in my 20s anymore... as hard as it is for me to admit that...
when I was 20 I was dumb and believed whatever everyone else was telling me.
over the past few years I have grown and developed my own opinions about life, politics and about myself.
I feel free to be myself and not be who people want me to be.

I learned that I cannot fear the future because it makes me lose sight of right now.
yesterday has shaped me into who I am today... but dwelling on yesterday does me no good.

I discovered that when it comes to politics... I don't have to vote for people that my family votes for... and honestly, no matter who gets elected... the world will not end as a result of it... no matter how much my right-winged family members tell me it will.

I have realized how important it is to love myself...  I am trying to get healthier and get in shape.... I did this once before when I turned 20, but I did it for all the wrong reasons. I had my eye on a boy... (i got him)
but now, this time it is for me.

there was a whole lot more in my head that I wanted to say, but its late and I've forgotten... (because I'm 30 now... hahaha)

I will continue to write... I know I keep saying that, but I mean it... I think.

stay tuned...

I am only just beginning. I am forever learning. and I still refuse to grow up.


i guess this is 30... here we go!
