out of my teens | the big 2-0

guys, i'm twenty now. that's crazy- it seems like just yesterday i was a freshman in high school, trying to find my way in the halls & now i'm about to be a junior in college, trying to find my way in life. honestly, birthdays never made me feel any different but when i think about it, i realize i am getting old. my siblings are going to turn 16 & 18. those are big ages but i remember when they were just 10 & 12. life passes by so fast & if you don't watch out, the time will slip away. luckily, i have great people to pass the time w. i just want to thank all of my amazing friends who wished me a happy birthday

 

so on the day of, i had a little birthday hangout w my friends & we talked, played mafia, watched how i met your mother, opened presents, had cake, & took pictures
