Twas my birthday yesterday. I didn’t do much, but it was a nice day.
I went to work in the morning. I was wondering what to do with the rest of the evening. My co-workers said to go to the Chinese New Year festival in the park. I thought that sounded nice. It ended up raining.
Instead I had popcorn and watched some of ‘Man On Wire’! It was very nice with the rain outside.
I went to the festival the next day. It lasted all weekend. I couldn’t believe that Chinese New Year landed on my birthday this year! It’s the year of the wood dragon.
It was also a new moon on my birthday, and the moon was in Aquarius, which is my sign! It was so many cool things all on the same day.
It actually feels nice being 25. It’s a similar feeling to when I was in the second half of my teen years.
I much preferred 17, 18 and 19 over 12, 13 and 14. Maybe it’s the same in my twenties. I’ve enjoyed the first half of my twenties, but maybe it’ll get even better. \
I do feel less pressure in some ways. I’ve been obsessed with the age of 24 for years. Kurt Cobain and John Lennon were both 24 when they achieved world fame. I found that out when I was 16 or 17. Ever since than I’ve felt this pressure to do the same.
A couple months ago I finally let go of that. It felt really nice. And now I’m 25 and it really feels like a whole new chapter in my life.
I’ve only thought as far as 24 for past 8ish years. I feel relieved to be done with that.
