✨✨ 31 today ✨✨ It’s funny to look back and remember this time a year ago, how much anxiety, pressure and dread I felt toward turning 30. I felt as though the walls were closing in on all sides and the biological clock was ticking down. I felt paralysed by the comparisons with my peers - should I have done more with my life by this age? Am I behind everyone else? Should I know what I’m doing with my life? Have I reached my peak and my best years are behind me? Is it all downhill from here? I found myself deeply unhappy, self critical, self sabotaging and desperately trying to escape in any way I could. The year of being 30 was one of the toughest and most challenging years I’ve experienced to date, and externally might not look like much changed. Internally however, it’s been one of my MOST significant years of personal growth. I’ve invested so much time, money and effort into myself particularly the last 6 months, unshackling the chains of my past and my perceptions that kept me stuck, relearning my mind, my body and my soul all over again, unlearning a LOT of limiting beliefs about myself, and maybe for the first time, actually beginning to figure out who I really am, what I am worthy and deserving of and what boundless possibilities I am capable of achieving. Last year, entering my 30s felt like a death sentence. Now as I crest the hill of 31, this next decade of my life feels like it’s going to be the best one yet, and I’m only just getting started 💫🥺 @goldcouture_au @albinadyla @biancabmakeup @christopherhannasydney
