Well my birthday weekend is over. Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!
I was dreading the big Two Eight... well not so much dreading it, but kind of begrudgingly accepting it. Kinda like when you miss your exit on a highway, and you have no choice but to keep driving and driving in the wrong direction.
Not that I feel I've missed any great opportunity or anything; I just like using bad analogies.
So anyway. I was surprised by everyone else's reaction to my birthday this year. Usually I let it go by with little fanfare, and that's what I was expecting this time. Like... I'm just turning 28, who cares?
But everyone was really cool. All my friends wished me a happy birthday, and a few got me presents or bought me dinner or whatever. And on saturday I went out with my friend Angela who is always super cool to hang out with. Even after she left, she called to make sure I was having fun. She seemed very adamant that I have a good time on my day. lol (as a side note... we're "friends" for now but I am trying to pursue her in more of a dating way. She's a little unsure about dating in general so I'm taking it slow. She's been showing a lot of signs of interest though. We'll see what happens!)
On sunday my family took me to AC and we had fun down there. We didn't gamble but had a lot of fun. Then they sang to me with an apple crumb birthday pie. lol
Afterward I kind of realized why this is such an important day after all.
My 28th birthday is symbolic of all the changes I've been through over the past year. I've grown so much as a person, I wouldn't even recognize myself from a year ago. I think most people would agree I carry myself with much more confidence, and I have a lot more pride in myself in general. I've learned a lot about relationships too, and some of it from very hard lessons.
And very importantly, I've started a new business that has become quite successful! Being self employed is the best thing that ever happened to me. I am so much happier now.
There are still a few things I'd like to change, like my need to preach to people about self improvement. Also my tendency to overanalyze EVERYTHING. But at least I don't do that stupid head nod thing I used to do when I said hi. lol
Overall I feel like I am more myself today than I ever have been in my entire life.
Tonight some of us will be going out to dinner and then Clerks 2. Speaking of which, I am hungry.
