what has your current age meant to you? let's gather it here.....

26 has been realizing how much the work I have done has paid off and how that means other people haven't necessarily done that work. It's been this moment where I both felt so disoriented and also finally started to feel like I've gained even the slightest footing in the world

31... for me, 31 was a year of de(con)struction and desolation. I'm starting to realize as I approach 32 that it was entirely necessary to blow up so much of the life I had been living in order to begin something better.

25 has meant breaking old patterns and moving forward with my life. More than any other year of my life I think this year I have recognized and broken patterns of self neglect and disrespect. I've realized that I want the friendships I have now to be the foundation for friendships I have 20 years from now. I have built community and I've learned to love my hometown. I make mistakes and sit with discomfort as if it is a welcome companion. I think about my future children and how the person I am now reflects the kind of parent I will be in the future. I make bad art, I dance in the street, I hug my friends tighter and longer, and I am in a constant state of practice.

27 until July this year. My birthday wasn’t the catalyst for my change but 2024 starting definitely was. To keep it short, I’m starting my deconstruction journey from being born into a religion that has been my identity for 25 years. All of my core identifiers have been destroyed and I’m kind of on a raft in the ocean right now. I’m redefining my values and the connection with my family. Figuring out what’s important to me. I’m pretty lost but for once I’m not only focused on the finish line.

28 was THEE age for me. I moved to a different country to pursue a passion, I met my future husband, ditched toxic people in my life, and FINALLY started creating the life that I am so grateful for today as a 33 year old. ❤

thank you so much for this piece of art - I'm turning 27 next week and feeling all sorts of ways. 26 has taught me so much about where my values lie, and I'm realizing just how much my desire to be perceived 'well' has clouded certain relationships. part II, V, and IX really resonate with me. I can only begin to express my appreciation for naming masking culture in this video - a beautiful modeling of acknowledgment in itself. happy belated birthday, and here's to another wide year!

Happy birthday!!! I'm 24, 25 in July...I honestly feel like I've become a completely new person in the past year or so. I spent almost the entire second half of being 23 on the opposite side of the country from home in long term psych treatment. The journey didn't end when I returned home shortly before turning 24, but that gave me a solid foundation for growth. I have not only gained a lot of confidence and self-trust, but I've also learned that I love socializing and laughing and making other people laugh thru improv and standup, I've strengthened many old relationships and developed new ones, I've gotten healthier and gotten stronger via working out and actually staying on top of meds, appointments, and the like. But I think two of the biggest changes I've noticed have been how I've let go trying to control other people or people please or know exactly what they think of me all the time, and also just having faith that even when things are hard or don't turn out the way I wanted, they turn out fine eventually. Resilience is bliss. And I've really learned that I can love myself and feel content and positive about my self, my sense of self-worth, and where I'm currently at, even as I work to continue growing and changing some things.

this is excellent. number 5 really spoke to me as you describe a fear that's always present in my life but that i haven't quite managed to work through yet. the way you speak is very interesting - listening to your introspection calms and clears my mind to spark deeper, intentional thought. i'm 26 and it's becoming more obvious how beneficial it is for me to see and surround myself with others in my age group living in a way that brings some clarity to my own life.

Okay number V hit DEEP. I've had a similar learning as I am falling deeper into intimacy with some newer friends that have come into my life since moving cities. I desire closeness yet I fear judgement and rejection in the same ways you described... trust really is everything. Also being that non-judgmental authentic friend for someone else tends to bring out that quality in the other person. Such a beautiful reflection!!

This video allowed my soul to take a big deep breath and remember what is true. My golden 27th birthday was last month and I’ve been reeling in all the “should’s & could’s” of my life! My inner knowing is more jumbled up and mysterious than ever before, when all I crave is clarity & confidence. I hope one of my differences this year is chilling soooo out.

I have also been heavily processing my limerence over the past few years. For a period of time, I had a tendency to fall very fast for people I barely knew, and the connection would end as fast as it started. Since it happened so many times, I started paying really close attention to myself in this pattern, and I managed to unravel it though introspection, confronting my fears, and healing my insecurities. So now I don't crush on people in the same way anymore, I look to get to know people more thoroughly before I let my attachment grip onto them. I think it's the same for me, I am attracted to people with qualities I want more of in myself. It took me a while to realize that but in retrospect, it makes a lot of sense.

If i get to the unapologetic point of not pointing outy greasy hair, questionable outfit ipon pulling up somewhere... That is a big goal. Just like making my own intentions for experiences!! I have two more years to get to that point till 28. You put it beautifully! Thankfully, i have been really feeling my current age. I regularly sing "I'm feeling 25" like I have finally caught up to a 22, I didn't know I missed. I can go on adventures and I can be vulnerable, I don't have to be stoic or cold but can do it my way!

Also, when you said "non-profit industrial complex"..... when I tell you I *screamed*. I work at a non-profit right now, and that phrase couldn't be more true.
