In psychology, a quarter-life crisis is defined as anxiety over the direction and quality of one's life.

Yesterday I turned 24, and I couldn’t have felt further from that.

Instead of feeling lost, confused, and directionless, I went to sleep feeling like the happiest, luckiest person in the whole world.

I have a family who loves me. I have food. I have safety. I have health. I have the opportunity to pursue my ambitions. I get to help people with my work. I have meaning. I have a purpose. Even my problems feel like blessings right now.

I’m incredibly grateful to be feeling this way because there have been times in my life when I haven’t felt like this at all.

Thank you for reading this, even if I don’t know you. You contribute to my happiness each day.
