I turn 23 today!
Let’s get wasted!!
So I turn 23 today. 23 is not exactly an exciting age. Even last year when I turned 22 I was at least able to reflect on being 21… but 23 is the birthday that is just the next step to middle aged boringness.
Or so I thought… and should have hoped.
To be honest, this birthday has been the most emotional birthday I’ve ever experienced. Several separate things have all kind of cumulated together to turn me into a ridiculous emotional ball of pain.
If these things were spread further apart, I probably would have been able to handle them, but all together, I’m reeling.
Emotional point number 1:
This is the first time in five years that I’ve been single on my birthday.
Emotional point number 2:
I received a birthday present from my ex boyfriend [before Lan, the 2.5 year relationship one] that can be considered nothing more than ambiguous in its meaning.
Emotional point number 3:
Today I talked to my father for the first time in 13 years. He got my phone number from one of my brothers and called me to say happy birthday. … He sounds so old.
Who said 23 was going to be a boring birthday? >_
