hey girl. happy birthday!! you're little entry is a true inspiration. i hope to be just as upbeat about my life when i get to that age. geez. i'm fretting over turning 24 next year and i haven't even accomplished no where near as much as you have!
24 was hard. Very 24. But trust me, once you pass that milestone, it's so much easier to gain a little perspective. I used to compare myself all the time to other people, judge how far along they were in their lives and realise I was barely passed picking out my own clothes. But it's all relative. I may not be married or have this great solid career path but that's okay. I move at a pace that's right for me and me only.
By all rights I am a little jealous of you. You seem to be so full of energy, and you have such a great relationship that you're sure of. And from you're entries, it seems you are sure of everything you do. Now that is an accomplisment!
Happy birthday lovely! I've never seen why it's bad to get older. XD You can't have lived life at 15 or whatever so staying the same age, or not wanting to grow older has always been like wanting to stagnante for me. And that's just not good.
Thank you darling. That's a perfect way of looking at it. The more you grow the more fulfilled you feel. Thinking about it that way, I can't wait for 40!
i love your attitude. i don't get the whole "omg it's my birthday i'm so old!". the last birthday i really cared about was my 18th. my 21st? meh. i had finals and a dr's appt. big deal. lol.
I had a minor freakout every birthday after 17, all the way up to 24. It just seemed like I was supposed to be so much farther along in life than I was. I was aging physically but mentally I was still a kid. It scared me. But after 24 I was able to let it all go, forget about the number, and just live.
Finals on your birthday? Life really blows sometimes. :-P

I'm glad you had such a good time in Italy. *sigh* I'm only excessively envious.
