Yesterday I turned 24 and honestly, I’m really happy about it. Yes, there are so many things that come along with “getting old” and being a “real adult” in your 20’s. But there are so many things that are great about growing up and aging, too!
Here are 24 things I am thankful for now that I am 24 years old.
1. Friendships that have lasted.
2. Pizza never failing to brighten my day
3. My parents who continue to love and support me.
4. Relationships that didn’t last but ended for the better.
5. Having the chance to be selfish with my time.
6. That really great song that became my favorite all those years ago and still makes me happy when I hear it. (P.S. - It’s Jason Mraz’s ‘The Remedy’)
7. Sunflowers.
8. A day spent shopping at Target.
9. Having a job that I love.
10. Watching cooking and home design shows and trying out new things.
11. Getting the opportunity to experience in my lifetime the magical... Unicorn Frappuccino!
12. Dance parties with my best friends.
13. Traveling without a plan.
14. Country music that is perfect for any mood.
15. Learning from bad choices or decisions.
16. A deeper appreciation for baseball and hockey.
17. Treating myself to a spa day.
18. Admitting that I like wearing my glasses more than my contacts.
19. Embracing quiet moments alone when I get to read or write.
20. Those family and friends who comfort me with the simple phrase, ‘“It will be okay.”
21. Accepting your body and being confident with how you look.
22. Art. A day spent at an art museum is my favorite.
23. One Tree Hill streaming on Netflix.
24. Puppies! I mean, who doesn't love puppies?
