What a strange feeling it is to turn 25.
You’re no longer in your “young twenties”. You’re not quite in your “late twenties” either.
What an awkward age. That’s the perfect word to describe how I feel about turning 25…
Awkward. I’m not sad about it and I’m not too thrilled about it either if I had to be honest.
I’ve joked…and not joked…to my friends that I feel like I’m going through a quarter-life crisis. Dramatic much? Maybe.
Thank God I have awesome friends…they’ve all assured me that they hated being 25 and that my best years are soon to come…
My mind races at night thinking “what do you have to show?”…“why did you waste those years not pursuing what truly fuels you?”…as you can see, I’ve had a lot of late nights.
I’ve never been afraid of change and that is one thing that I am excited to embrace this year. I’m making changes.
I’m sticking to my priorities. I’m going to do more of what makes me dance inside. I’m not going to settle. I’m going to embrace getting older.
Twenty-five is the year of just figuring my sh*t out. This should be fun. š
*** I’d love to know. What has been your favorite year of life, and why? ***

Happiest Birthday beautiful!!! 25… such a great age. It’s been my favorite so far. Everything after 25 is well, blah. Ha ha! ENJOY IT!!!!! Make this your best, most favorite year!! Love you to pieces and so sad I can’t celebrate with you in Vegas. Hoping to hug your neck soon… somehow. Love you!
28! You’ve done so much personally and professionally at such a young age and I just can’t wait to see what’s next for you! Love you!
My current year, 29, has been my favorite so far. I feel like this is my year of “just figuring my sh*t out”. I know what I want in life and wish I would have figured it out sooner, but I’m so excited for the future!
Happy Birthday to you!! Wishing you the best!
Girl! You’ve got this!! š Hope you have a great birthday!!
When I turned 25 I had the same thoughts exactly. You begin to not be able to hide behind your youth anymore, and start to sense the passage of time. You put it well, it’s the year I started to figure my sh*t out actually. My favorite year hasn’t happened yet, though the most important was my 25th, for sure.
I turned 30 last month and I was ECSTATIC to say goodbye to my 20’s. 25 is definitely an awkward age and I felt like I was going through a quarter life crisis for a couple years. Happy Birthday and yes, the best is yet to come!!
Embrace it! 25 is still so young. I WISH I was 25 š Happy Birthday!
You are so not old!!! I’m turning 25 in May, so I’m right there with you! You’ve done a beautiful job with your work so far, and I can’t wait to see where life takes you! š
25, the best is yet to come. I’ll be 24 next month, but 22 was gold. It was solid gold. I saw how much influence a single life could have through simply being present. I learned more about myself and who I wanted to be as a leader than ever. I learned that to lead people well you have to genuinely care for them and genuinely love them, you have to whole heartedly desire that they would become better leaders than yourself and you have to speak those words over them all the time, over and over, hoping that they might start to believe it too. 22. Solid.
Happy Birthday Baby Toon!!!! Love you more! Mom
Oh, you’re still young š
It’s just getting better – at least I think so. I’m turning 41 this year and just loving it.
I just turned 25 in November and when people ask me my age I say something along the lines of, “Uhh, 25? Yeah, 25. Weird.” But really, we are young. And it looks like you have done a lot. I’m just getting started in weddings and I am anxious to have more under my belt and I totally relate to the feeling of “what do I have to show for it?” But I’m trying to be patient. Most importantly: Happy Birthday!
lol I just turned 20 and started to freak out! but if I could be as successful as you in my photographic career when I’m your age I would consider myself blessed.

30’s have been my favorite so far and used to dread that age at 25. Now that I’m here all I have to say is, the best is yet to come. Seriously.
