enjoy my twenties

I just want to act and feel like I am in my twenties instead of always feeling like I am in my forties.

23 doesnt give it self to lightheartedness without effort.
i have a birthday and most family is hesitant to give me presents because “im going on25” i take it turning 25 is like becoming an actual dinosaur compared to the sweet cuddliness of being 21. 22 was a year of accomplishments and a bridge into adultness. i graduated from college at 22 and took my 1st job in the real world.
by 23 i was becoming too serious. being bogged down with the bills and reality of consequences, 23 was starting to stink. but ya know, every year is what you make it. im planning a couple outing (camping, going to the zoo, 1 island visit) and thenim starting med school. this willbe a true challenge to enjoying my 20s sense med school is not characterized with lots of partying and cupcakes. im excited though. class starts the 16th of july.

while blogging about finally opening up to jobs outside my field but in my earning potential it occured to me… the reason i needed to move on was to hurry up and enjoy my life. it was earth shattering when I realized i wouldn’t be starting medical school fall 06 but i had to move on with my life. only one problem, my life was all wrapped up in being a doctor, without being able to actively pursue that goal i felt like i had no life!

but the dust has long settled, its already april and i graduated late may last yr. i’m ok not having all the answers; enjoying my life through the tribulations is possible.

Now here are the little ways i can enjoy my twenties so that i dont just focus on my career goals and postpone happiness until i have financial stability.

Having a life includes being a volunteer,gardening,taking yoga, being a regular at happy hour. Finding some time to go to the club some, sign up for a massage, baby sit, take vacations, give freely to family on christmas and birthdays, have time to bake, be able to buy books rather than just “glance” at barnes and noble for hours at the time. (if you can even call that glancing)! I want to bike ride with my hunnibunni and join DC Fit(which may become a new goal registration is 85 bucks and its april 28th)

This goal wont be complete until may 21st 2014 when i turn 30. then i’ll have to reflect and ask myself if i did enjoy my 20s.
