Age is such an interesting concept. Well, I guess it's not a concept, it exists, it's real...but only because we put a label on it. Why does 365 days equal a year and why is a year the unit of time which we use to keep track of how old we are? How about next month I tell people I'm turning 252 months old?
The age that someone actually is, is irrelevant...to most things anyway. I'm 20. But I can be told I act like I'm anywhere between 12 and 45. So what is a 20 year old supposed to act like? What is the difference between April 14th, when I'll still be 20, and April 15th, when I'll be 21.
The only thing that changes overnight, is my age. I will still be the same person. I'll probably act pretty much the same way as I did the day before. Therefore, a 21 year old me is acting like the 20 year old me. But that brings me back to the question of what is a 20 year old supposed to act like?!
Age is just a unit of measurement for time. A year. Instead of thinking of a birthday as just a single special day, an anniversary of birth, I'm going to think of it as a celebration of all my years past, and all the love and good times that's been shared, and of the many more that lay ahead in the future.
