Yup, its me birthday. Leaving my 20s behind

used to hate my B-day. Not because of the aging thing but the fact that bad things always happen to me on my birthday. That's still true, including this year, but....oh well. I'm sorta glad to leave my 20s, they've been hard, a bit painful actually. The only B-day where I full panicked was when I turned 16. I had weird ideas about what I'd have to act like and be, etc. I was quite immature as a teen (still am, but don't care LOL) and thought I was backward. I WAS, but it was okay. Took a long time to realize that.

ENOUGH WITH THE MAUDLIN! ENOUGH WITH THE EMO!!!
