Birthdays?

   

Since it is my birthday today, I wanted to write something related to birthdays. I think that we spend a lot of time as kids wanting to grow up fast. Although as adults then we end up wanting the opposite. Once many people reach middle age they wish to be just a kid again. So where does that little line begin? When do you stop feeling young and start wondering how time went by so fast? 

    I think that for me, Ive always had a little bit of an old soul. I was an only child in my family, but the youngest of 4 other half siblings. It is crazy to look back and realize I have been alive for two centuries now. Anybody over the age of 20 reading that would scold me for saying I feel old, but I do feel completely amazed how long ago the early 2000s were. Responsibilities are taking up most of my time, I feel tired most of the time, and my back has started to feel a little tighter than usual. While all of these things are signs of old age, I am not even fully myself yet. I think what I am getting at here, is that life continues to move without you no matter what age you are, so take that time everyday to enjoy life. It is so fragile and deserves to be valued and appreciated. No matter how old you are, life has been teaching you so much. Age brings growth, and with growth brings a fuller version of you. Enjoy each day and just allow life to take you on an adventure!
