twenty five years old today.  it hasn’t quite hit me… quarter of a century gone.  when i look behind, there’s a well-established path of memories, laughs, mistakes, triumphs, and losses.  each human’s combination of these experiences is different, but each year has the same number of days for every individual.

for once, i honestly feel old.  and it kinda freaks me out to tell you the truth.

my time on earth is finite.  i’m grateful for salvation through christ, so i’m not afraid of death.  i’d like to leave the world a better place.  i don’t feel that there’s much to show so far, but i guess some could argue differently.  some young adults at this point may look ahead and wonder what the next twenty five years are going to bring… but just thinking about the next one is distracting enough for me.  i’ve been blessed to find the love of my life and will be marrying him in three months.  there were some reminders this weekend that there is still work ahead for our relationship and growth, which i’m looking forward to.  we’re probably going to get a house around the wedding, too (even though the one we wanted fell through due to some issues with the inspection).  the next five years may bring a family for us.  who knows.  but today i turn twenty five.
