| Thanks for this print on the gift, A! |
So it is. I woke up sober and fresh on my birthday. Not the least bit hungover, and absolutely pleased to have spent the full birthday week (and more next week!!) spent catching up with precious friends and everyone (in town and over Skype) who mean something to me, and importantly, whom I'm often in touch with outside of social media.
Am I unaware of the irony of my birth day versus the estranged relationship I have with my mother? Nope. I've carried it all my life. Each time someone says Happy Birthday, I stifle a grimace. That phrase means more beyond the words. I don't know if I should be happy being born into this world when I didn't ask to be born. There're some matters that cannot be reconciled and no one has the right to interfere. So be it.
Are there milestones to be met as one inexorably moves into the exciting 40s? Dunno. Don't care. I live life on my terms and am gladly bearing the consequences of those choices. What does being an adult mean? Honestly, I don't give a damn. I simply concentrate on being a halfway-decent human being who can finally stop stepping on toes out of sheer inconsideration and obstinacy, to a certain extent.
Perhaps I've finally grown up, in spite of all the crosses carried and penances bore. :P
I'm 36. Hurrah.
