Turing to another Chapter



So it was my birthday yesterday
The big 21 which has been a long awaited day, but it really wasn't.

Drinking can be made into a huge deal if you don't do it or if you do. I hate how both sides make it such a big deal that even if you are not drinking on your 21st bday but you had offers by others to go and drink and you turned them down, you still get a lecture and talked down to by others for even letting the thought cross your mind. 

Mature people. You don't always have to put your two cense in for EVERYTHING!! I am a full on adult, I can make my own choices. I live with the choices, whether good or bad, not you.

I fear God alone and answer only to Him. So if you feel like giving your opinion on the subject save your breath or typing fingers.

In my head I had built up some sort of different birthday routine that did not come to pass yesterday. I don't like surprises. The effort is there but for a person like me, they typically let you down. Thanks for trying but it just wasn't me. I could honestly say that there were people there whom did not even know my last name. 

I wanted this last exciting birthday to be just that, exciting. Well with the dry ice bombs in the orchards; I will def remember that. But not really heading the plans on your last big birthday kinda got to me and now as I sit at my desk the day after, all I can think about is how it was not what I wanted.

From here on out I am making my plans, not others. I love how others tried to plan for it, I do and this is nothing about them but rather the lack of boldness to step up and take charge of my own bday. 

Things will be a'changin in the real near future, this I promise.

It's almost here

Today is Nov. 16, which means that in less than 12 hours I will be 21 years old


To be completely honest this is how I feel about tomorrow. No not like a fat kid loves cake but rather like what is the point. Does anyone actually feel older just because some numbers line up on the calendar and there is a cake that sits in front of you as sticks of wax melt across a vast plain of rich frosting as everyone stares you down and sings and many more on channel four? 

I love how everyone comes to support you at this beloved gathering but if I am being honest, I don't feel any older than I did a week ago. The situations I have overcome throughout the course of my life thus far have mentally aged me faster than a sweet red wine.

So if you think that my 21st bday will look like this:
 
than I am sorry, you have the wrong guy. I do not need to be completely trashed to have a good 21st birthday.

I did have a get together the other day for my birthday with some of the people that are close in my current season of life. A birthday blog with pictures will come either tomorrow or the day after so that I can get all the pics online.

I hope that I at least get some phone calls or birthday txts........
