A Decade of Birthdays

When I think of my last few birthdays, I remember not only how lucky I am, but also how many different places life has taken me:

Every birthday in my 20’s I celebrated at a different postal code, in a different way, with different people. After 10 different places, across 4 different countries and 2 continents however, I think 30 is a good time to wrap it up, end the streak, close the cycle.

I will try my best to think back to that 20th birthday. I can remember little about it to be honest, since back then it wasn’t really special. Everyone will be 10 years older than the last time I celebrated my birthday there, that’s for sure, but back then, what I was hoping to see? What was I hoping to do? What worrying me, and what was motivating me?

The world feels smaller, time feels shorter, and I do feel older. It’ll be nice to be home.
