My Life... Is Incredible

Seriously.
Do you ever just realize how privileged and blessed you are? I have lived an amazing life and I'm only 28. I have done things that most people only dream of. My parents have provided me with opportunities that people add to their pin board. Now that I am older and can make my own opportunities in life I snatch them up!
I am lucky.
Really though.
