This is me, this is my 36.  

I have forgone some societal factors thus far in my life, and these choices have shaped my adult life in ways I am really amazed by. Moving to Portugal and traveling on my own. Spending two months working as late as I want in a metals studio. Packing it all up to go on a cross country roadtrip on my own. People I have known for a long time aren't necessarily surprised by my choices, but they don't quite understand them either. I'm okay with that, I don't fully understand all of their choices , yet I accept them. 

This is 36 for me. Tomorrow I will know 37, and it's all just super exciting, cuz I'm a grown woman and I do what I want...
