Life Lessons From My Late 20s

The Jewish New Year, which is a time of reflection, falls around my birthday. Because I'm finally saying goodbye to my 20s on 10/22, I'm reflecting a little extra.

And, my life looks very different than it did during most of my 20s. A pandemic happened and a lot of my friends left the city, I started a (cartoon?!) side business that's growing in ways I could have never imagined, I moved into my own apartment in Manhattan after always living in the outer boroughs, I experienced my longest and healthiest relationship and it ended amicably ... So, here are some of my takeaways, and maybe you can relate to some of them!

• 

  Finding balance is hard!

• 

  Governors Island is cool...

• 

  Don't have a sucky date

• 

  Breakups are hard

• 

  Receiving a lot of sympathy

• 

  It's okay to spend time alone

• 

  The sky's the limit!

• 

  follow your heart in the end
