twenty-five
Being 25 is balancing on a fine line. You don’t want to repeat the past, you know what you want and what you don’t want, but you really don’t have everything figured out. You can see when you are making the same mistakes, so you try your best to avoid them but you have infinitely more patience than four years ago. You need thicker socks to get through the winter, and just working or just going to school doesn’t seem like enough to keep you motivated most days. You want to create more, do some good, be able to come home to a place you enjoy, and surround yourself with like-minded people.
