The concept of turning 25 can be quite daunting for some people. However, there is a silver lining to look forward to: our frontal lobe has finally fully developed (can we get a yay?). That means you'll be better in decision making, have a greater ability to weigh the consequences of actions, and hopefully put an end to all those dumb things you used to do and maybe help you avoid getting into situations that could leave a lasting scar.
In my childlike thinking, I've always imagined that when someone turns 25, the minute they open their eyes that day, bam! They're instantly enlightened, seeing everything crystal clear, shining bright like the sun. They're pumped with positivity, motivation, and a kickass attitude to tackle the day head-on. Hence, being 25 has become something I've waited for.
So, it's been like a whole day of me officially being 25, and I'm still the same old me, doing the same stuff, thinking in the same way as I did when I was 24. I'm chowing down on the same food I've always loved, and my reactions are pretty much unchanged from when I was younger. So, for all the people who eagerly wait to turn 25, don't get too hyped up because, honestly, nothing mind-blowing happened LOL.
And to all those who are feeling anxious about the scary thoughts surrounding turning 25, let me tell you, it's not as terrifying as it seems. It's all good, nothing to worry about. Just take it in stride and keep on rocking!

p.s. I'm 25 y'all!
