well rockers, in 15 minutes I'll no longer be a teenager. All the angst, tears and insecurities, the acne, food issues and bad fashion, the unrequited crushes and flegdling sexual encounters. I dunno if I'm ready to give it up...

Today I had an existential detective follow me around. I don't know how exiting it was for the detective, but I was amused. In the words of Sophie Calle (a real existential detective), "I'm only fearless if you compare me to people who don't do anything."
I'm almost a big girl now. I'm done with being little and scared, at least I'll try to be.

20 was my most significant birthday. I fully had an x-town breakdown* over not being a teenager anymore, too.

*That's how the cool kids say "existential crisis".

Happy birthday!

I remember it was a bit hard to leave teendom behind when I turned 20, but all in all I was very happy with it. I'm so much happier at 25 than I was at 15 that there are no real comparisons.
