“As I get older I am finding myself more in tune with what the passing of time means and the value of staying in the moment. I’m more aware of the eagerness one feels at the thought of acquiring knowledge and the excitement of growth,” Reed wrote via Instagram.

So much of my inspiration comes from the vibrations that live inside me, but also in what you guys project. Thank you for your amazing energy. Thank you for your pictures, for your songs, for your love. I can’t wait for 27 to reveal itself. I’m ready.”
