Welp, I've been avoiding discussing my birthday for the past 10 - 15 years. Seems like every year the stress gets to me and I just sorta disappear around the beginning of august, then show up a month or so later after the anxiety of aging has begun to fade.
But... There's not much I can do about getting older. Pretending it's not a thing wont make it any better. Instead, I'm going to celebrate for the first time in ages. My wallet is gonna hate me, but hey, it's gonna be time for me to splurge on stuff!
