Happy 21st Birthday to me

Welp, as of this day I'm officially 21 years old.

Well, legally. Mentally at times I suppose certain friends of mine would probably beg to differ. Granted, I suppose C.W. Lewis would have something to say about that.

“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

But seriously, hold onto what bits of your childhood you have. Made you what you are today. There's nothing actually wrong with indulging in a little bit of childishness now and then I suspect. I mean, a lot of the early stuff I did with Legos fed into my imagination and put me on the path towards where I am today into wanting to become a fiction writer.

See where I'm going here? I honestly pity those who've rejected their childhood days as just that, silly happenings. Now, what I'm going to do from here? Well, hardly the definition of the word party animal and I have no real taste for anything alcoholic so probably just going to kick back with a good book or binge-watch something.

So basically you're saying my birthday will be filled with chaos then? ...Hmm, might spice things up a little as I do have -alas- classwork to look forwards to.

Thanks, Kougami. (Even if you are a little nuts.)

Fair enough. And it could be worse, could be blessed by Genm. Then I'd be actually worried, if that 'kami' decided to bless me.

Pinkie decided to lend me some stuff as a favor

Growing older is mandatory but growing up is optional comes to mind though balancing that with obligations is a hassle at times but oh so worth it for the little moments.

Happy Birthday.🎂

Yeah, I'll pass on that one. Not a fan of Alchohol. Have to take medication that's like 1/1000 of the stuff, and god that's nasty.
