Never gonna die again

Oh, just grate

Same as every year, I'm content with being one year older. Birthdays don't bother me. I'm 29 now. I'm looking forward to 30. Next year is my Golden birthday; I'm not actually sure if anyone talks about Golden birthdays these days. But age can mean knowledge. It means, surely, more experiences under one's belt. You've had more chances to fuck up and therefore more chances to get it right. I'm starting to realize that a portion of my 20s were wasted and overly compromised. But to say I'd want to go back and change that would probably mean that I wouldn't be exactly where I am right now. And that would be a shame.

Welcome autumn. I dig you every year. You never get old either.
