Birthday
This is the first birthday I have ever had were I feel significantly different from the one before it. I made a lot of new friends, and I remade friendships with good friends that had drifted apart. My family is important to me as they were when I was five and they were my entire universe (for the first time since I was ten or so). I realize I'm not alone anymore, but am also figuring out how to function as an individual. I feel like all the problems I have had have made me a better person and are shaping me into the woman I am becoming. I am also, apparently, becoming wicked cheesy.
But all in all, it was a good year. I started doing well in school, I moved away from family and grew closer to them, I started caring about exercise, I am beginning to get the concept of zen- I feel peaceful but full of energy. I feel more in control of my life then I ever have, but I still need to learn how to drive. I have never felt so un-grown up.
The weather on my birthday was worse then mediocre and Kev was sick, but somehow the day turned out to be surprisingly good. First Kevin took me out driving, and I'm starting to feel more comfortable behind the wheel. It was a little overwhelming; the combination of driving and growing up- having to drive because I am growing up- upset me. I am not a big fan of either in the first place.
When we got to Kev's house, he went downstairs for a surprise and brought up scrabble; an intense scrabble match ensued... I lost, but that's ok. Kevin hates scrabble with a passion, so the fact he was playing just for me made it so much sweeter. I was cheered up by a million. We had cake and watched shark week; I was very happy.
