There Will Be No Tears Shed For 26

As I sit here on the eve of my 26th birthday, I can’t help but look back on this pivotal year of tears, heartache, healing, and change.  25 was a difficult year, but it was also a wakeup call to a whole host of anxieties, insights and realizations that I have never experienced before.  I often wonder if this was a new level of maturity in adulthood.  Is this essentially the definition of the Quarter-Life Crisis that millennials have jokingly nicknamed?  I have joked about it but now I wonder if it actually is real.  As I have learned in previous psychology classes, our brain is not fully developed until about age 25.  Would this have to do with the sudden wakeup call, the sudden anxiety of needing to have everything figured out, the tough realizations/insights that come out of the blue, and the new depth in which you can reach inside?  Can anyone else relate?  I have to tell you it’s been scary, the things that have come up but it’s been motivation for change.  

I could sense from about age 23 that things were getting to this point, to the point of a crazy breakdown but I ignored this gut feeling.  Sure enough, a few years later I found myself sobbing on my bed that evening of my 25th birthday.  All I could think was, “I’m halfway through my 20’s, what the hell am I doing?  I’m still at home, no degree, no boyfriend, no kids… I must be a failure.” This then sparked a lot of negativity which caused my anxiety to increase and I was feeling very alone.  Thankfully, I was already seeing a counsellor at this point because things got increasingly harder as the months went on by as a 25-year-old.  I was faced with confronting the past, with getting out of my comfort zone on several occasions, the anxiety that was holding me back and multiple losses.  In all honesty, I don’t think I would have pulled through quite as well if I didn’t have a counsellor to talk to.  I am very grateful.  Although, I feel the real work is just beginning and I’ve been in therapy off and on for over a year and a half now.  We had to switch the approach from just Talk Therapy to some EMDR because I wasn’t feeling or expressing the emotions of what we were tackling. Thanks to my learned defence mechanisms. Anyways, now I’m a little off topic. We’ll save that for another blog post.

So yes, most of the age 25 for me was difficult but there is a silver lining.  I have made important changes to my life and am now setting goals to achieve my purpose of helping others with their mental health.  I have developed a new found love of writing and will publish a book one day :)  Slowly but surely, I’m beginning to find out who my authentic self is, how I can love her more each day and how I can trust her.  I’m leaning in and delving deeper in my counselling sessions and taking back all the control I gave away.  I am healing the inner child from within and becoming a stronger woman because of it.  

There will be no tears shed for my 26th birthday.  You know why? Age is just another number in which it gives us another year to expand and grow.  It allows us to look back to see how far we’ve come and evaluate where we want to go in that year.  It is another year of youth that has come and gone but as I get older, I’ve realized that what’s in your heart matters the most.  The most beautiful people that walk on this earth have an inner beauty that radiates; love, compassion, wisdom, knowledge and strength.  They are of any age and background.  I strive to be one of them and it will take years of learning and growing. 

There will be no tears for my 26th birthday because it is another year of growth and I cannot wait to see where this year goes.  Will I finally feel whole?  Will I be able to own my story and live authentically?  Will I be able to go out in the world fearless?  Will I travel?  Will I find the man of my dreams who treats me with the respect I deserve?  WIll I be able to live my life more creatively and with more purpose.  But most importantly, will I be able to leave the past in the past for good?

A week ago I got to celebrate my 26TH birthday with my parents. Sushi, poker and good company. Just a few of my favorite things. I did not celebrate my 25th birthday because of COVID, and honestly I usually hate my birthday because something bad always happens and I’ve become superstitious about my birthday. But this year my birthday was low key, no drama, and spent with my two favorite people: mom and poppy. I am grateful for every second I get to spend with family because: famiglia è tutto. #birthday #26 #26birthday #26thbirthday #sushi #japanese #poker #food #foodie #restaurant #superstitious #salmon #spicymayo #spicy #happy #family #familyiseverything #famigliaetutto #lafamigliaetutto #famiglia #lafamiglia #oldlady #elder (at Sakura Japanese Steak House and Sushi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM8p-wVset5/?igshid=2adcusoud28j
