all is said and done

Well, my birthday is over. As with the flames from my birthday candles, my youth has faded from my eyes. I'm a grown man now. No longer shall my thoughts linger on warm summer days, playing catch in the backyard, or staying up all night playing video games. Now, I must work. Work work work.

Well, maybe not quite yet. Twenty-two isn't the end of the world. You're as young as you feel, right? And I feel pretty spunky at times. Yet, if being another year older allows me to feel no guilt about making life-changing decisions instead of having to call my mommy or daddy- I'm game!

So hears to you, my twenty-second year! Enjoy it while it lasts, for it only comes once in a lifetime.
