Today is the Last Day of 28

My twenties are zooming around the bend and coming to a close. Today's the last day I can say, "I'm 28" and not be lying. I have one more year before I park the next decade in my 30s, and see what life has to offer me then. I feel like I've learned so much in the (almost) 29 years I've been walking around in this skin, with these feet. So much I still have to learn, see, experience and discover. You know how they teach you in middle school science, that the human body completely regenerates its cells in 7 years time? That because of all the constant shedding of old cells, and growth of new ones, after 7 years your body does not have a single cell left over from 7 years prior? I feel like on another level, there is a spiritual connection there. The lifetimes I've had in my 29 years, 7 year old me, 14 year old me, 21 year old me, 28 year old me... all different lifetimes. So much changing, evolving, growth, I feel so lucky to be here. Which makes me think about the friends, classmates, acquaintances, rockstars, artists, icons, who weren't this lucky- to live those 4 lifetimes that I have under my belt. And on this last day, before I enter the last year of my twenties, I am thinking about my dad, and my mom who carried me for 9 months, breathed for me, ate for me, held me like only a mom can. I love you. Thanks for this amazing life, I am so happy to be here and see what's next.
