The family I come from is very uncelebratory.
Life just comes and goes, and it makes no difference who has gained what. It all just passes by as an ignorable blip in the passage of mundane time.
I was 24 years old when I started my first job and turned 25 in it. It was the first time I had cake, let alone anything to mark the occasion -because I could now afford to do it on my own. I have done that every year since.
This is one of many reasons that I love adulthood, and why it’s responsibilities do not phase me- it has enabled me to do and be very many things that I would have loved to be and do as a child, but could not.
For me, therefore, growing up is access: to more space to explore, freedom to be, creativity to express, and resources to enable all three.
And I think that this is why my joy will never be exhausted – the things I’m most excited to have in life happen to be immaterial, infinite and inexhaustible -moreover freely supplied by GOD.
Cheers to 32! 💕
