20

Yep, I'm 20. It's  a big deal to some people and not so much to others. Some (that it hurts to hear it from) say it's only 20, not like you're 21 or something, gee thanks, it shouldn't matter how old I am the mere fact that that was the day I was brought into this world and you consider me a friend ought to be enough to celebrate. You better believe that I'm not going to say anything on your birthday to make you feel bad. So you want to drink now that you can legally, okay I won't be happy to see you consume poison but it's your life, do what you want.Just show me a little bit of respect on my birthday. Sometimes I swear it feels like I care more than anyone else. It may be the fact that I'm not close to a ton of people so those I am close to mean more to me or it could just be that I take friendships more seriously than others. Whatever, I'm 20 now and I'm finally definitely going to Australia, no more maybe or depending on finances and that's all there is to it.

Being another year older never seems all that different. It's nice to hear everyone's well wishes and to see their appreciation of you but it doesn't seem like anything's changed. Change can be a good thing and I'm sure in a few months I'll have all the change I could ever want but at the moment it's kind of nice that things are just staying the same. I love Cincy, I love the friends I've made here, sure I wish classes were easier but I could also be putting in more effort than I am. I'm so very thankful for all the love I've seen in the last week, as well as all the sameness. I'm just trying to enjoy my life in Cincy before I leave for a while. I love it here.
