🌸 Turning 35 isn't so bad 🌸 ⠀ I remember when I turned 30, I dreaded the thought of leaving my 20's behind. Your 20's is where you're old enough to be financially independent but still young enough to have all the fun. The best of both worlds I thought. ⠀ Oh how wrong I was. ⠀ Not that my 20's were bad, but I love who I am so much more now then I did 10 years ago, even in spite of all the 💩 that's happened in the past few years. ⠀ 💕 I'm no longer afraid to advocate for myself and say no. 💕 I have a deeper understanding of who I am and what I really want in life. 💕 I'm at peace with my circumstances, knowing that as long as I try my best, there are no regrets. ⠀ Grateful for everyone who've stood by me through these years, and grateful for *you* for always filling this space with love and light. 35 wouldn't be the same without you all. ❤️ ⠀ ⏭️ Swipe for more magnolia blooms in DC! ⠀ _____ #femfeed #washingtondc #igersdc #exploredc #igdc #instantdc #dcstyle #dcblogger #dcitystyle #flashesofdelight #lovelysquares #myunicornlife #pursuepretty #darlingweekend #thehappynow #abmlifeisbeautiful #softcolors #aestheticgirl #whiteaesthetic #pinkaesthetics #awakethelight #aestheticpink #whiteaesthetics #pinkdetails #pasteltheme #prettyfeed #prettylittleplaces #prettyplaces
