28

Austin Marie Myers 1994 (Akron, Ohio)



At 28, I’ve come to see, The person I’m meant to be. Through all the highs and lows, I’ve found the strength to grow.

I’ve shed the layers of my past, And embraced a new path at last. I’ve learned to listen to my heart, And follow my dreams from the start.

I’ve made mistakes, but that’s okay, They’ve helped me grow along the way. And though the road has been rough, I’ve learned to be kind, patient, and tough.

I’ve discovered my own unique voice, And found the courage to make a choice. To live life on my own terms, To embrace the unknown and learn.
I’m not perfect, and that’s alright, For I’m on a journey to find the light. To be true to myself, and to others too, To embrace every moment, old and new.

So here’s to finding yourself at 28, To embracing life, and taking the reins. To being bold, and unapologetically you, And living life to the fullest, through and through.
