Dancing In My Kitchen On My 29th Birthday

One year before turning thirty I freak out about my career, my partner, and my life choices. In a moment of crisis and realisation, of self-doubt and stagnation on the day of my 29th birthday I put on my favourite dress from when I was 21 years old, play my favourite song, and dance for my life. We see the transition from uncertainty to unadulterated joy when I start living in the moment once again.
