Today I am 25-years old. 

Last year on my birthday, I wrote myself 100 Words To Live By and I decided to do it again this year. I've also decided that I will do #25in25pics on Instagram, but you'll have to like me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter to see those.

As I mentioned last year, I'm not claiming to know it all, but this much I do know, in 100 words.

You're worth everything you can imagine for yourself,
You don't need your dreams validated by anyone else--if you believe.
Therein lies the problem.
The only thing stopping you is... you.
What's it going to be?
Are you a dreamer or a do-er?
Better, you're doing whatever it takes to make that dream a reality.
See the lessons in the failures,
The work behind the success.
Stay humble yet hungry.
Remain grateful.
Remember, lighting another candle in no way takes away from your shine.
So, be quick to help others.
Don't forget to smile.
Oh, yeah. :)
I'm definitely in my zone.

To be completely honest with you, I thought I would be depressed today. I'm not where I thought I would be, yada, yada, you know how that goes. Especially because 25 is such a pivotal year.

I'm not where I thought I would be and yet, it's better than I could have imagined. I'm thankful for all of you keeping me company on this journey. 25 is going to be ahhhmazing.
