So this past weekend was my birthday. I am okay with having birthdays. I however am not okay with turning 27. So this past weekend I celebrated my 26 + 1 birthday! :) It's not the age that is bothering me. It is the fact that I feel that 27 pushes me into my late twenties. And that is not something that I am completely okay with.
There are a few reasons for this.
1. It is just the feeling of growing up. Not necessarily getting older, just the idea of having to grow up. Be more responsible (and this is something that I have faced every day with moving back to Canada...and something I'm still not fully comfortable with).
2. A part of me feels "behind" compared to a lot of my friends. I took the time to travel (which I do not regret one bit because it helped shape who I am), but a lot of my friends are well into their careers, married, engaged or having kids. And I am nowhere near any of that stuff. So gain another year and not gain any of those "life milestones" is a little unnerving.
3. The idea of not having dad saying happy birthday anymore...just really sucks...
Steph & I celebrating my bday!
Every birthday celebration needs a birthday girl ribbon!
