On the 1st May, a masterpiece was born. The name? Makayla Brown. Next year will be the big 3-0. When I happened to be on Facebook a few days before my 29th, I came across a post I did 8 years prior which said:
WOW…HAVEN’T BEEN ON HERE FOR A WHILE (STATUS WISE)…SO ERM…TWO DAYS LEFT TIL MY 21ST…I’M ACTUALLY SCARED LOL ONLY 9 YEARS LEFT UNTIL I HIT THE NEXT MILESTONE :S…EXAM IS LATER 🙂
A friend had commented saying that time has flown, which indeed it has! Upon looking back at when I was 21, I can tell you I’ve changed since then, but you’re better off asking my nearest and dearest on HOW I’VE CHANGED.
So to mark this final year of my twenties, I thought it would be best to do a typical “30 before 30” list. I know, it’s kinda cheesy. But what better way to go out and have more fun and do things that I don’t usually do?
I’m hoping to document some of them too, so follow me on my journey of completing 30 things before 30.
Updates will be crossed out.
