Today is my 30th birthday. And I moved away from the west coast, my home, once again.
I spent the first half of my 20s worrying so much about my career and what it would look like on paper. For those of you who don’t know, I’m a film school graduate - and becoming a producer was my dream. So I quickly networked and attended events and took contracts and scoured Craigslist and talked to friends of friends and applied for jobs I was *totally* not qualified for and I overworked my way to “success”.
And 6 months after landing my dream job, something was missing.
I was 24, seemingly “on track” with a job I could only (to this day) still call the best job ever, and I just wasn’t happy.
So when Nick and I got together, we derailed. (On purpose)
And here I am today - thirty.
Not at all what I thought I’d be doing by 30. Not at all even close to figuring it all out. Just wanting to soak in these moments next to my husband on the airplane thinking ‘what the fuck are we doing now’.
And those moments of being absolutely humbled by how much we *don’t* know are the best little birthday gifts ever.
