Personal Thoughts On: My New Age 🍋🖤
Anyone else remember thinking at 17: "I'll be so put together as an adult"...
And now: "Holy cow🦆 (please insert fav [bawdry] here) I am still figuring it out!"
I celebrated my 24th birthday recently and took time to think about my life journey since being a teenager. And really, holy cow am I still figuring it out. Lately, I've been really focusing on what foods make me feel best, what bedtime routine works for me, and how to not ignore my alarm clock in the morning.
It's all the little things that will just pop up as an adult, and discovering what works best for YOU that can be so frustrating and freeing.
This year's focus as my -official- first time being a 24 year old 🤩 is Responsibility. I am choosing every day to find my flow and actively grow so my efforts towards helping others find their power is the most impactful.
No more ostrich effect, now is a great time to pull our heads out of the dirt and hit our responsibilities head on🐐
- Love, TBT

As we grow older, the transition into adulthood often brings unexpected challenges and realizations. Many of us, like the author Trin, remember the youthful optimism of perfecting adult life by 17, only to find ourselves still navigating complexities well into our twenties. This stage of life is crucial for self-discovery, as individuals explore what truly brings them joy and fulfillment. Focusing on wellness, it becomes essential to identify foods that boost energy and a bedtime routine that promotes restful sleep. Understanding personal rhythms and needs often involves experimentation and patience. Furthermore, establishing a strong sense of responsibility not only propels personal growth but also encourages us to support and uplift others in their journeys toward empowerment. This exploration is a reminder that adulting is less about perfection and more about embracing the journey. Finding balance amid obligations can also alleviate the 'ostrich effect'—the tendency to ignore our challenges. With determination and a commitment to self-care, we can face our responsibilities head-on, cultivating resilience, clarity, and a deeper appreciation for the growth process. Whether it's reconnecting with honesty in communications or understanding powerful words like 'bawdry,' this journey forms a vital part of adulthood, shaping who we become.
