Today, I am 25. To me that seems like quite a milestone in life. Everyone keeps telling me, “Congratulations! Now you can rent a car without the extra fees.” While I really do find that exciting, especially because I plan on doing much more traveling this year than in previous years, what I find most exciting about this age is finally being able to live in the present, and I even filling a car loan application soon as well. As I was growing up, I was one of those kids who was always thinking and planning for the future- thinking “When I’m older, I’m going to_____.”
Wham! All of a sudden I’m older! 🙂
So, I have marked this year as the year I will start to do a lot of those things I always told myself I’d do “when I’m older.” I will be working so hard on my photography and my business, but I’m also going to make time to do things in the present, instead of planning to do them later.
Here are just a few of those things I’m determined to do this year:
Go skydiving. Run a 5k. Go on a road trip to at least three new states. Get involved with a charity. Start a personal photography project. Learn to shoot a gun accurately.
Take some yoga classes. Put my new mountain bike to good use. Host a dinner party where I cook all of the food. Shoot a session with film. Read a classic novel or two.
I bought myself an Instax Mini 7s (an instant camera much like the standard Polaroid) for my birthday and I’ve been having some fun with it. Here are some of the shots I’ve taken so far with it. I’m still getting used to it, but I’m thinking it’s going to be such a fun thing to have on some shoots once I get the hang of it!
Okay, 25. Bring it on. 🙂
Happy Birthday Heather!! Hope you have a wonderful day! Miss you!
Hi friend!! How are you? Sooo happy you got this little gem!! Happy late birthday!! 25 will be a great year! Its just as important as every other year but more actually because 25 is obviously what a quarter represents and w/o quarters how would we pay a parking meter or visit a local laundry mat or play a game of air hockey…. also dimes and pennies magically appearing out of your ear isn’t as cool! just some good things to remember about the number your representing this year! 🙂
