Thinking about the years that I've left behind as I hinge on the eve of my 26th Birthday...sorta make me feel like this animated girl to the right ----->
(By the way... I have no idea what that writing means in the picture. Let's just ignore that).
Twenty-six years have gone by and shit...where did they go? I've had some amazing years and some very not-so-amazing years, but every single one has taught me something about myself and especially about life. For that I am grateful. However, I do still feel that a lot of the life lessons I've learned I could have done without, at least for another few years. I guess at the end of the day we all have to walk a certain path in life; uncover certain truths about ourselves and about our existence so that we can become better human beings...
You see! This old age stuff is already catching up with me! I think tomorrow (May 12th) is going to be one gloomy day :(
I used to burst with excitement when May 12th arrived, but somewhere in the past 3 or so years that excitement has vanished. Instead now there is a certain sadness about the youth that is slipping away. The responsibilities of growing up...getting married...my gosh!
I guess we all have to progress with time. Perhaps marriage won't be so bad. Maybe my in-laws won't find my obsession with xbox 360 to be "too" bothersome... maybe they'll even find my Hannah Montana t-shirts cute? Well... as long as I have my console, I suppose I can ready myself for the next phase in my life -- a phase, sadly, that starts with me turning 26.
If this is me at 26...what will become of me when I turn 30?
