I can't believe I'll be 26 in 5 days.
I'm not feeling any differently really and I'm extremely content with my life. Of course I'd love to go home more often and be closer to my family and friends and have millions of dollars in the bank for me to spend traveling the world but I'm happy with what I have. It also really helps that my summertime has a surprise trip planned for my birthday weekend and I was told only to meet him at the airport. I'm a lucky woman.
I'll also visit my friend Alina in Romania on the 17th of February which should be exciting! I'm sure it'll be cold but I've never been and it will good to spend time with my friend and see new things. THEN, before I know it, Mic ans I will be off to Brazil!!!!! I bought a hiking bag a few weekends ago and I can't tell you how excited I am to be going with my mozzarella. It'll be amazing to relax for 2 weeks together, exploring yet another continent, enjoying beautiful weather and drinking caipirinhas.
We just finished the last season of the show "6 Feet Under" and I have to say, it was an amazing series that really forced you to confront several things that humans are generally uncomfortable with- namely death and the fact that life is short. It's sad to think about but we're really not here for long and we're all going to die someday. It's terrifying to be confronted with death. It's comforting to say that you'll live life to the fullest but death is still scary. Not necessarily only mine, but the deaths of the people I love. I never want to lose the people I love. We watched a movie called "In Time" where the concept was each person stopped aging at the age of 25 but then only had one more year to live. Money didn't exist and you exchanged services for time. Despite questionable acting (Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried), it really made me imagine living in such a world. I think I'd like something like that- not getting sick and just having to find ways to keep/get time. I wouldn't want to live forever but I like the idea of staying young and living longer than the average lifespan. I've said before I wouldn't want to be immortal but if it was possible for all the people I love to be immortal too, I'd be all for it.
(sidenote: why won't Margo let me be great?) She's sitting in front of the screen trying to take a nap like it's the only available area to do such a thing).
Anyway, I'm off to have change the color of my nails and enjoy dinner with Micky the Kid. More from me sometime in the future!!
