Is this 35?
This is what 30 could see and almost reach.
This is what 25 worked so hard for but felt so far away.
This is what 20 thought she could only have in her dreams.
This is what 15 daydreamed about with her best friend—having one day.
This is what 10 imagined when asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” (Spoiler alert: I’m still not grown up.)
This is what 5 thought growing up would feel like.
This is what God wrote in my plans when He took my brother to heaven in infancy and allowed my parents the painful 8-year wait before they saw his little sister.
So yeah, I guess this is 35—being a mom who still loves theme parks and acting like a kid, being a pediatric chiropractor who gets to help babies and kids live life to their full potential, being absolutely nuts and not apologizing for it anymore. 💙🩵
