The Yearly Routine

I woke up today on my 25th birthday and this is how I felt: not quite old.

Twenty-five seems like a significant number in terms of a human life. A third. That is, a third of my life is over with. Seems kind of strange to me. But still, here I am.

I'm not exactly sure how I will be spending my birthday. I always spend it alone so I can make it a day of reflection, something that I find to be impossible with friends around me. I'm very likely going to be spending the day outside with Elli at a park or simply in my own backyard.

A little preview of where my mind will be wandering today:
  • Four years ago I learned what real, honest heartbreak felt like.
  • Nine years ago I met a few of the most influential people in my life.
  • Ten years ago I began the ninth grade, which was the beginning of the best four years of my life that I can hardly remember anymore.
  • Thirteen years ago I opened one of the best presents ever: my Nintendo 64, which firmly established my love of gaming and got me lost in some of the best games I've ever played.
I have a lot to do today for a day where I do nothing.

B3 out.
