I am 23 years young today. It’s been a beautiful day full of reminders from people and places that I love. I am so grateful!
I believe that a birthday, not New Years, is the best time to look back at at a year — after all, it’s when a person’s clock was set in motion. This year has been particularly enriching for me. I had the opportunity to take the cross country road trip of a lifetime, spend a summer in San Francisco, intern at a wonderful photo center, and live every day with keen curiosity. This year I gained confidence, understanding, and a sense of self. I lost things, too, but that’s life. I am learning how life goes.
Twenty-three years ago, at 3:56 a.m., I landed on this thing, “life.” I didn’t have a name for 16 hours. I was almost a Margaret. But here today, all 5-foot-one-inches of me, I’m Jenny!
To everyone that has been a part of my life this last year — and throughout the past 22 — thank you for embracing my wayward, peculiar soul. I am thankful for those by my side!
