Thoughts on 28


One of my besties, Kristal, said it best, 28 is closer to 30 than it is to 25. I cannot tell you how surreal it feels to be and to say, "I'm 28 years old."
What is 28 suppose to feel like? Am I suppose to act different? Be different? Dress different? Am I still ok to shop in trendy stores, or in the "juniors" department?
It's just odd. I don't feel old, but I know I'm not really that young anymore. I stared at myself in the mirror last night, examining every little feature, wondering if I'm showing signs of looking older? Do I need to switch creams, serums to protect against wrinkles and other age-showing attributes?
And just as all these neurotic thoughts were flowing through my head I had the comforting arms of my guy wrap around me, a little kiss on the head and as I looked up and said, "do I look old?" He said with a chuckle (a cute, like- are you serious? chuckle), "No, babe! You look like your my age." sigh!
Well alright, I guess I'm ok- I don't feel old and
now I've been told I don't look old -
so bring on 28.

Funny girl! I was doing the same thing morning in the mirror. Only I realized I really don't look like I'm 20 anymore, I definitely have signs of aging.
