"Cause nobody likes it when you're 23..."

I am now twenty three. It seems like such a useless birthday really. Nothing really happens, you're just one more year older. Twenty two wasn't a useless birthday. It was the year I was no longer twenty one. I'm still conflicted about how it feels to be twenty three, well, I ask to every who asks me "how it feels to be 23," how is it supposed to feel? It doesn't feel like anything. But at the same time it feels good.

It feels like you are absolutely loved whenever you are at work and your phone won't stop vibrating because so many people are commenting on your facebook wall simply wishing you a happy birthday. It feels like you are special in someone's life because they plan you a surprise birthday party. It feels like your coworkers are happy you are apart of their team because they buy you surprise chipotle and a birthday cupcake. It feels like a group of the greatest people in my life playing a long, hilarious, game of mafia and quelf. It feels like I'm a year older. But at the same time, I always feel these things. I always feel loved by the people in my life. So while I had a great birthday, I have a great life because the people who felt it necessary to make my birthday that much more special, well, you've already done your part in making my life special. :)

I think it's about time to start blogging again now that I had a sufficient amount of time to do so.

  2. I don't think turning a year older feels like anything either but it does feel great to have so many friends and family to acknowledge you on one day!

    Yay for picking back up on your blog!
