I was 17 in 2000, 27 in 2010 and in 2020 will be 37.
I hope that time brings me many more wonderful experiences that I will share with the ones I love and care about, and that I might finally have found the job that suits me best, and the partner that brings out the best, and possibly even a family. However, I realize what is meant to be will be, and I am finally at a stage in my life where I am focusing on living in the moment instead of stressing out over what happens tomorrow (well at least I am trying my best to)... and improving my health and well being through exercise and good people.
