34

I was born a 33 year-old
Which is to say that I’ve been told that even as a child, I always acted like an adult
“The Mature One”
“An Old Soul”
When I look back, I can see that some part of me always believed herself to be in her early 30s
Living every phase feeling as though I’d done it before
No surprises and no mistakes
Collected and composed
Beautifully poised
Well-rehearsed

So now I find that I’ve been reborn at 34
It feels like for the first time, I’m in uncharted territory
Off the map
Beyond the page
Writing my story and living it all at once
Full of surprises
No mistakes
Collecting
Composing
Beautifully poised
And fully immersed
