The sun is shining in, there is peach tea and apple with yoghurt to munch quietly. I'm reading everything at once: feminist books, a smattering of chick-lit, the newest Frankie magazine, my favourite blogs that I haven't caught up with in a while.
It's my 28th birthday tomorrow. In an abstract way, 28 is something of a non-event birthday. My mum tells me 28 is the year of Saturn's return, or the year I become an adult. While I am at times skeptical of such pronouncements, this one actually feels about right. Things I want are becoming clearer and more specific, instead of the "I want everything" feeling from before.
In a less abstract way, I wonder if I will wake up tomorrow with that little birthday zing I've had every birthday so far. A birthday is a birthday, after all.
Happy birthday for tomorrow! Or, technically today now haha. Birthday's are ours to enjoy, even if they are as "unsignificant" as some ages tend to be labelled.
ReplyDeleteI love frankie magazine, though I haven't got around to buying it since my subscription ran out awhile ago.
belated thank you for the birthday wishes! i did have a lovely day, in the end :)
DeleteAnd yes, big Frankie love here too, my dad got me a subscription for xmas last year and I think I'm going to ask for the same again! Such a lovely surprise in the mail...
