The Facts of Life

Age is a funny thing. Actually, it’s just a number, but we all seem to turn it into so much more than that. Today, I turned 24. The scary thing about turning 24 is that it is only a year away from turning 25. And the scary thing about turning 25 is that it’s only five years away from turning 30. I don’t think I’m quite grown up enough to be thirty. Instead, I think I will just be happy about 24 and enjoy this lovely day full of texts, phone calls, good vibes and the opportunity to eat cake.

Recently, I have seen a birthday prompt floating around the blogger world in which you list a fact about yourself for each year of your life. I figured it would be fun to sit down and think about what makes me, well, me and to document it here.
