Turning 27!
Some thoughts and feelings, plus my dream birthday wishlist ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚
Originally this newsletter was just going to be a lighthearted birthday wishlist because I’ve been crazy busy recently and working super hard behind the scenes on upcoming newsletters (which are going to be v fun! aka are taking up most of my time). But then I suddenly realised I’ve previously shared my thoughts and feelings about turning 25 & 26 on here, so it would be wrong to not do the same for 27. So that is how I’ve ended up sitting at my desk two hours before this gets published, ready to ramble away and probably overshare - I hope you enjoy!
In my mind, 27 is the age where someone really starts to sound like a proper grown-up. 25 feels fun and significant in it’s own ways and at 26 you’re only one year over that, so you can still cling onto the feeling a little bit. 27 seems very different somehow, it’s like you’re properly on your way towards the big 3-0. I’ve said before in my other birthday-related rambles that age doesn’t feel as significant when you enter your mid/late twenties, maybe because you realise that people in their 30’s are actually way cooler than people in their 20’s and suddenly ageing doesn’t feel so scary anymore. I do genuinely believe this, but every year around a week before my birthday (which is now), I start to feel this low level anxiety in the pit of my stomach.
