on turning twenty tomorrow

Jun 16, 2010 17:48

I am not entirely certain what I make of today being my last day as a teenager.

It's something I can never have again, you know? And while a lot of it was dreadful, and while I barely fit in with teenagers anyway, I'm reluctant to let it go. It's been part of me for so long, in a strange sort of way.

It is amusing to think that my thirteen-year-old ( Read more... )

I have only fallen in love with one guy, and that is Joel (and I might be head over heels, tipsy in love with him, just maybe), and I really find it nice and awfully romantic to only have fallen in love with him and only have ever kissed him.

Oh okay just maybe. :D

But yes, I agree with you! (Um. In theory.) I suppose I sort of just thought it would have happened by now, or at least some inkling that it could happen would happen, but... as I tend to be very intense, I probably am the sort who does not fall in love easily.

(Also I would love for both of us to have only kissed each other, if only for the silly enjoyment of learning how together.)

Happy almost birthday, darling. I think there are a lot of things I would've told my 13 y/o self but I get sad thinking about them, but living them was also good. Who ever thought I'd say that? I wouldn't have spoiled much. But I'm so glad there are so many awesome things that have happened to you, dear. :)

Also I know lots of people who like all the things that you describe as out of the way. My friends made construction paper moustaches over spring break to wear around the house. You'll keep on finding them. :)

My German friend tells me it's bad luck in Germany to wish someone a happy early birthday, but somehow I don't think you'll take this the wrong way: happy early birthday, dear. I think you're a very level-headed, very capable, insightful young woman...one who will transition from her teenage years to her early twenties with poise and grace. ♥

But neither of us are in Germany, so it must be safe, right? (Thus far you don't seem to have done any damage, except for my hair catching on fire and me mixing up the tea and the nitroglycerin again...)

And thank you! ♥

Oh, is that all? Our fears were unfounded, clearly!

(And I forgot to add "superb sense of humor" to the list, clearly! ^__^)

I think I shall finish this pot of tea, and then go to the park for a while to swing on the swings.

That sounds like an excellent plan. :-D

I got to the end of this post and thought "yep, Jo's going to be okay". As says more articulately, you have a good head on your shoulders (and equally importantly: a good heart!) and will make the transition to your twenties pretty well, I think.
