There's something about today. Something you didn't look forward to, coz there's so much you can't seem to let go behind. You feel blue. Now you are 28. How you've lived an eternity, but you also feel like you've just begun. Today isn't supposed to be alloted for thoughts of what you could’ve been, what you don’t have, what you can't do, what you could've done...but i know you can't help it. You sum up your quarter life, and conclude it's all empty. When you look in the mirror and see your very self, you see the person that's hard to love.
Aren't you too hard on yourself?! 😆🤣
Before they doubt your sanity, i want you to know i don't judge you. I know it's just how you are, you know yourself. Let yourself be a little nostalgic. You need it. It has become an essential part of you. It's your birthday today, so it won't hurt to lament.
Life is slow and fast at the same time. Everyday seems a little heavier, a little harder, a little sadder. Here's another year. Would you smile! You owe it to yourself today at least. And the little girl you once were would have wanted the same. Be a little kinder to yourself. You're not perfect.
I know what you're thinking.
"This was a long road, but some years were a shortcut. Where has my childhood gone? I was once that little bumpkin playing in the rain catching toads, or laughing under that big bright moon in a warm summer night".
In one blink it's all just a memory. You wish to go back in time. There's so much you wanted to do, you wanted to be. Now they're all just wishes. Being 28 makes you feel like you missed half of it, yet when you were little you thought you've experienced it all.
Every year you're learning about yourself, and forgetting too. All you understand and accept is that you're forever weird. That's a fact and that's OKAY. You've got countless failures and losses but you've reached this far, still alive and kickin and laughing. What a long life at 28. Can you imagine? And your weirdness never left you. You must feel awesome 😊.
You're blue, but I know you are happy too.
Coz despite being so flawed, so insecure, so left behind, so alone, so all over the place, so weird...you've got a loving family ❤. You've met and made amazing friends from different backgrounds and culture ❤. And most importantly you've got yourself- so rare 🤣🤣🤣.
Stop being so dramatic. Tell you this. If you think life has just started now- it's okay, mas vale tarde que nunca. You can't cook- don't worry, leave it to your brothers. You're scared of clowns- call a police when you see one. You've got no cake- get yourself a balloon. You always get lost- google map. You're weird- stay as you are. There's so much you want to do, you want to be, you want to learn- spend another 28 years. That's okay!
Happy Birthday Irish.
