Hi y’all!
Happy Wednesday! It’s my birthday today 🥳 (shoutout to my fellow October babies)! The days literally flew by—it really snuck up on me.
I’m officially 28. Only two years left of my 20s! I’m feeling good about it, and it also makes me think about all I still want to do—and all the plans I’m working on to make the most of these next couple of years. Honestly, that’s part of why I’ve been making some big moves lately.
When I was younger, I was afraid of getting older—but as I do get older, I’ve realized each year actually gets better. Here are some reflections on some of my 20s so far:
24: Traveled all around Asia. One of my favorite “free and young” years. Old enough to feel confident traveling solo, with a bit of money and my own content biz to support me.
25: Mini quarter-life scare—“oh no, I’m officially in my mid-20s.”
26: Really confident in who I was; knew myself.
27: Extremely fulfilling. Stepped more into my purpose, gained clarity, confidence, and wisdom. If you know me from this past year, you’ve probably seen me stepping more fully into my voice and vision.
I’m looking forward to 28, but even more, I’m looking forward to life. Less worrying about numbers, more about the growth, progress, and seeing how far I’ve come. Life continuously challenges me, but it also shows the true power we have as humans and what we’re here to do.
There’s so much life to live and areas to grow. I focus a lot on my career, but I know new opportunities and areas for growth will continue to pop up. 💕
So with that lil brain dump, here’s to the gift of life. I’m thankful and blessed. Truly.
Hearing from you all and seeing how my work impacts you truly makes my heart happy. Today, someone shared how much my last IG reel resonated with her—it really moved her. Witnessing breakthroughs, hearing about dreams, goals, and challenges, and knowing people feel safe to share with me—that means the world.
Thanks for reading my lil bday ramble. If you made it till the end, you’re a real one.
P.S. As I step into 28, I’m curious—what’s one thing you want to make happen in the next year?
With lots of love,
Yzzy 🫶🏻
