a few days ago i was checkin out my myspace pictures and saw pics from my 23rd birthday. tonight im sitting on the eve of my 28th and i can barely believe the life ive experienced in the last five years. i hardly even know where the time from my 27th birthday has gone…
i can say that i swear i have less wrinkles than i did a year or two ago, reverse aging maybe?
mar had her ten month bday yesterday. where does time go?
i have been in school for almost four months now, by this time next year i will be a licensed cosmetologist. people will pay me to do what ive dreamed about doing for years. time i spent dreaming, putting off and not doing.
my grandfather passed away november 16th this year. he was such a good man. he did so many things in life. he knew so many people who spoke nothing but praise about him. his passing has made me try to look at things in a different light. i try to have patience with my family just a bit more. I TRY, i swear i do.
there are so many things to experience in life that i feel i forgot to take advantage of in years past. im not filing a list of regrets in this post but it’s the truth. im sad that i forgot how to live life. sure i lived some kind of life but i forgot to experience simplicity.
this birthday makes me happy. presents are great, going out with two of my girlfriends is going to be fantastic, getting a sweet room at the hilton is awesome, cake and ice cream rule but knowing im alive and able to be happy being me for an entire whole nother year is the best!

it’s interesting, when i read this post, i’m reminded of how different your voice sounds .. or rather, what is behind the voice, the woman speaking, thinking — how evolved and growing and surviving and thriving she is now.. and i’m reminded of the woman i am becoming. i see us growing and i can’t help but be overwhelmingly satisfied to know that we are not only one day or one year older, but lifetimes beyond our pasts because we have chosen to live so fully. i’m so happy your big day was grande and amazing.
