With turning 30, I've been reflecting on the personal growth and self-acceptance that can come with this stage of life. My friend shared a powerful passage from the book ‘The Pivot Year' that really resonated with me: 'You are going to make a life for yourself, even if you fear that you are not. We've been doing it all along.' It's a beautiful reminder that the journey of becoming our truest selves is an ongoing process, filled with both challenges and triumphs. I'm grateful for the friends who support me through it all. What has your experience been with this kind of personal evolution?
