24

Tomorrow's my birthday...and no this is not a post aimed at inspiring and/or obligating people to tell me "Happy Birthday" and whatever else you say to people on such an occasion, trust me!

Anyways, tomorrow's my birthday. 24. Twenty-four. Really?

My mom came through the bank today and said, "You're going to be 24 tomorrow, can you believe it?!?"

No. I can't. I don't really want to think about it, but it's kinda difficult not to. I mean, 24 years is just shy of a quarter of a century. For real? I've been alive almost a quarter of century!!

I just had some thoughts and words written, but in an effort to not seem like a Negative Nancy, I erased them. Haha.

Instead I'll go with this:

Tomorrow I will be 24. Tomorrow begins the
first day of another year of life about which
I am completely uncertain. I don't know where
the next 365 days will take me or how they will shape me.
My only hope is that I will be stronger and better for it,
no matter what.

So here's to turning 24.
