Today marks the end of my teenage years. Saying that just makes me feel old. I know, I'm only 20 and I feel old. I also like to knit, so before you know it, I'm totally going to be a grandma. The 20's are really a whole new decade. By society's standards I am supposed to graduate college, get my first job, find someone special and marry them. Some people argue that one should start having kids in their late twenties. That is absolutely mind blowing to me. Those are OLD people things. But now I realize, I am getting old. According to my mother, now time will just continue to speed up. Crazy.
Consequently though, birthdays always make me think of un-birthdays, from Alice in Wonderland. Part of me wishes we did celebrate those un-birthdays. A birthday makes you feel special and people and relatives take the time to say hi and wish you well. If only we could have that 364 days a year instead of 1. That is something to think about.
"At 20 years of age the will reigns; at 30 the wit; and at 40 the judgment."
