Hello world I turned eighteen today.
Unfortunately these past years I didn't meet my Prince Charming, I didn't get a letter from Hogwarts, my parents didn't tell me I was a princess who was adopted or a girl from the moon who can't get home, I didn't get super powers, I didn't meet a best friend who would become my side kick, I'm not a descendant from a great historical figure, I'm not destined to become the new Xena or Indiana Jones.
Still, I don't think these eighteen years have been a waste. Even though I like to make jokes about how I have wasted my life it really wasn't. It was great to roll around in the snow when I was three, to make drawings for other people with my childhood friend, to collect spice girls pictures, playing hide and seek, growing up between different cultures and traveling a lot, curling up in my bed and crying until there are no more tears left, learning different languages, making new friends, losing friends, being emo and extremely happy, staying up late at night to study for exams, bicycling through (snow) storms, having different obsessions, pretending to be a writer, playing lots of video games, dancing to cheesy pop songs from the 90s, making earrings out of cherries, carving hearts in apples, looking up to starry skies and realizing that I'm truly made out of stardust, falling asleep on trains, laughing so hard that I almost can't breathe, watching cheesy asian dramas, meeting the most amazing people on the internet, doing absolutely nothing and reading Anderson fairy tales while a cheesy b action film serves as my reading light because all the other lamps in the room didn't work.
This wasn't a waste.
Bring on the new year! BRING ON THE Pr0nN LIFE!
