twelve. ♡

With all that has happened this last week, I nearly forgot my birthday is next Tuesday. Birthdays have, over the years, become less and less exciting as they drew closer. It's rather different when you're young, because you want to get older. Seems to be that we're always wanting what's opposite of us, aren't we? Children want to be teenagers. Teenagers want to be children. Adults just want to age backwards.

I don't see aging as a bad thing. It's a necessary process we all have to go through. There are those of us who dread their birthdays, who will themselves to stay the same age -- to be immortal and never grow old.

Well, be it as it may, I'm no longer immortal. I will be twenty-six next week, and I see nothing wrong with this. I look at it as a milestone for new wisdom, new memories, and as a celebration of life.

And also as an excuse to buy a delicious cake, but I'm getting ahead of myself here.
