This Week: Downtown in the Details
This seemed appropriate, because today I am leaving four behind for five. Thirty-four for thirty-five that is. I am having two opposite reactions to this birthday. One part of me is not very comfortable with this particular birthday. Someone mentioned to me that thirty-five is one of those obvious milestones, and my life isn't exactly where I think it should be for someone who is thirty-five (still single, still renting, still struggling at times with money).
But the other part reminds me that this has been one of the best years ever, especially in terms of photography and meeting so many wonderful people through photoblogging and Flickr. I have struggled for so long with shyness, social anxiety and with my self confidence and even though I still struggle with these things, I have made enormous strides in the last year and I know it will just get better from here.
So my life isn't quite where I thought it would be, but the future is bright and you can't really complain when you are in that position.
One other thing I learned about myself in the last year. I'm an optimist. Who knew!
