The Blogtastic Blogfest That Is Getmeoutofthis.net!

I guess I’m older now.

This is the second year in a row where I haven’t actually known what my age is at my birthday. Let me do some math… hmm… okay. 27 is the correct answer. I am 27. I think. Okay, I just double checked, I am definitely 27.

Milestones like this are normally either places for pep talks or pity parties on my part. I do that shit because it’s my blog, and I can do what I want with it. Doesn’t make it less stupid, though. I don’t think I want to do that this time, but who knows what’ll happen by the time I get to the end of this post.

This year, I did and am doing things for myself. I cleared my schedule so I’d get to relax on my birthday. I bought myself the gift I wanted. (Yes, that’s the stupid iPad.) I schemed ways to make sure Grandma was still involved.
Basically, I did what I needed to in order to make the day feel like something special. It wasn’t going to do it by itself. Nothing in life is going to just happen. I made it happen.

Trust is good. Depending on others is not good. There are people I trust more than anything in this world, who I love very much, but I learn that I should not depend on them. I should do things myself. I should make things happen myself. A job done by someone else is rarely completely right. There is always room for disappointment. The important things in life are those you tackle yourself. What you go after. What you create. What you are. Nobody else can figure that out or do that for you.

Is this a pep talk? Oh well.

Today is my day. I am making it as such. This life is my life. It will be as such. I’ll go back to working on that now. Have a great day.
