28
Birthdays often cause reflection and anticipation in me.
Looking back at 27, I realize (sadly) that the opening paragraph
still very much applies.
But as of yesterday, the roadblocks have finally been cleared.
I think the only thing that could make me more excited
is the day that I hold a copy of Greyscale in my hands.
.:Old Soul
This last year I’ve found myself mentally pausing time
and glancing at myself from a perspective
of a much older version of me
asking myself if I’m appreciating that moment.
I’m happy to say those moments make me smile.

.:Equilibrium
The past year has been a balancing act
of finding my footing spiritually & emotionally.
The challenge was accepted, completed, and maintained.
Two documentaries were finished.
Sarah and I had great self-discoveries,
and life has been better than ever, thank God.
.:28
The coming year excites me with its possibilities.
I feel better equipped for whatever comes,
and more experienced when it comes to
having the unexpected fall upon me.
Which has to count for something.
I’m not even halfway done with today,
but I already feel loved, appreciated, and happy.
Both my current and older self approves.

p.s. If today winds up being the Apocalypse,
it was at least a good start to a birthday.
