29 Reasons to Love 29

Yesterday I turned 29. It sounds like an awful old age to me. It's the end of an era, the end of my twenties. For the first time since I can remember, I didn't care about celebrating it and didn't care if anyone else remembered it. But I've been thinking, I love where I'm at in life. I am continually working on my one goal in life: to be happy. There are so many good and positive things that happened to me in my twenties, so I'm gonna list 29 of them. 1.
