I just realized that my birthday is exactly a week away, and I am not even excited about it.
See, usually I start reminding family members and whichever significant other I have at the moment (oohhh snap) about my upcoming DOB around August. Or late July. Maybe even the previous December, after Christmas.
Then I start thinking about things I should buy myself as a special present, despite the fact that I am poor.
Then I start buying the above things, despite the fact that I am poor and should be saving the money for the upcoming holiday gift season.
Then I start thinking about what I want to do on said date of birth, like go to a special dinner or maybe even buy myself more presents and then after that is all planned, I have a personal countdown to the special day.
This year, however, has been the complete opposite. Maybe it is because I am turning almost 30 and I am finding WHITE HAIRS on my HEAD (which I pluck out)? AHHH.
I feel really old.
I mean, look at this photo of me with my cousins. This was like, almost a year ago. Or something like that.
And now? My bones are achy. My nose is sniffy. I have age spots on my face. Sure, other people call them freckles, but they weren’t there when I was small. My neck is stiff. My metabolism isn’t what it used to be (I can no longer drink root beer floats every day). I go to bed early.
This is the beginning of the end.
