Today I'm grateful for gentle reminders.
I commonly read articles from a site called Thought Catalog. (I use the term "article" loosely as some of them are just lists of life hacks, advice, quotes, etc.) One of the "articles" I read today was called 17 Things People Born In The Late 80s Are Currently Experiencing. The last item on the list was: Slowly recognizing that you’re no longer developing into someone, but you’re identifying the someone you’ve developed into. Now, I believe that I will continue to develop over my lifetime, but this just reminded me of a bigger reality that REAL LIFE IS RIGHT NOW. I sometimes get stuck in thinking that some future event or circumstance has to happen in order for me to participate in "real life" or to "officially be an adult." Maybe that was a big leap to make, but I appreciated the reminder to live and enjoy myself in the present.
