Here I am, dancing with friends in my living room during the 25th birthday party I threw for myself.
I’m going to write a longer post this week about the experience of turning 25, but for now I’m just posting this picture from my 25th birthday celebration. I got the greatest gift I could have asked for that night: genuine fun with friends. That’s reason enough to want to dance!
