birthday thoughts

whoa. i'm 27.

for some reason, this is the first year in a while i actually know how old i am and it's sticking. in my mind i've been thinking i'm 25 for years now. when i was 24, i was 25, when i was 26, i was 25. and now 27...is...27. and it seems sudden. and...closer to 30.

don't get me wrong- i'm not an ageist. getting older is clearly inevitable, and with every passing moment, our hearts beat, our eyes blink, and we get older. actually, i like getting older. at least i think i do. and i think i'm going to like my new age (and at least i'll have it right).

so bring it on, 27. i'm ready for whatever you've got!
