24 Years and Counting...
As I blew out the one single candle, standing alone atop the small chocolate birthday cake that sat before me tonight after finishing my dinner with some friends at Olive Garden, I shut my eyes tightly, my face still a bit red from the embarrassment of having been sung to by our cute server and some of her co-workers, and I wished for the same thing I've been wishing for on my birthdays for years now. Of course, at the time, it wasn't my birthday, but we were celebrating it anyways. Now though, it's officially the eighth of October... 24 years ago today, I was born.
Now if you don't know what that thing was that I wished for, you don't deserve to be reading this. The thing is though, is that I think it's time for me to get over it. I need to not obsess over something like that. The thing is, is I'm at a point in my life now, where I'm being presented with huge decisions. Options, opportunities, choices... I need to figure out so many other things in my life right now, that I have little time to worry or think about "it." Why worry and wish for and dwell on things I have no control over and can't even plan out? There's no reason I should be waiting for that either. If it happens, it happens unexpectedly. So be it. I'll do my best to try to not think about it this year. This 24th year of Steve. We'll see what else happens this year for me.
I have one hell of a month to figure a TON of stuff out. This will be THEE most intense October I've ever had. I won't let it break me though. It's time to prove to myself and to others that I can handle everything and then hopefully come Thanksgiving, I'll have more money, a better job, a nice place of my own again away from my parents, and a sense of independence again. Wish me luck.
