Well, to me…
It’s my birthday! 34 years on this space boulder filled with strange things and animals and people like me! 34 years!!! Holy cow!
I may be a little excited, but I have good reason!
I didn’t think I’d live to see 18, surely didn’t think I’d make it after my very nearly successful suicide at 19, didn’t think I’d see 21 because I was a reckless, arrogant, cocky and a “me against the world punk who had everything to prove” attitude. Didn’t think I’d see 25 after my first round of cancer. Certainly, think I’d see 26 after my second…. Felt lost and confused through most my 20’s and after I hit 30, I was once again in a weird spot and homeless.
34… Man, life is certainly taking me all sorts of paths. The different people I’ve seen, different people I’ve been!
I’m very thankful to have continued on when so many times I wanted to die. Where so many times my troubles seemed too great. Where I could have tried and have tried to end my life and just be done with it. I didn’t. I’m so glad that I was able to push through those times and become the person I currently am. It's been a long road no doubt but well worth it. Here’s to 34 and I hope to see what I’ll go through next!
