The Ides of March

it's my birthday today.

March 15th,

i'm 22. 

that sounds so weird.

22.

i mean i know if i say 

"i'm old" to someone older than me,

they say "o no you're not! i'm way older than you!"

but to me, its old!

i mean, i've never been 22 before!

it's strange.

i just remember being a little girl

and thinking, "when i'm 22, 

i'll be married and get to

 wear lipstick, and high heels,

and drive a car, and write checks,

 be a sophisticated grown up.

now here it is.

and you know,

i'm not disappointed.  :)

while i am not exactly all

of things i thought i 

would've by now when i was six,

i'm pretty ok with who i am

and what i am.

i love my life,

im so blessed,

and i'm very very happy.

happy birthday to me!
