happy 26 :)

 Is it a bad thing that I don't feel 26? 

I must've been stuck in my early twenties - not realizing I'm over the mid-line now :")

I'm super lucky that today is a super chill day at work xD

Delicious and ever flavorful McD for lunch xD

I watched 'Into the Woods' for the first time, 

enchanted by the songs of Sondheim,

and then went back in time with 'Princess Diaries'.

I don't know how else to embrace birthdays,

still just feel like any other day, 

with extra bits of love. 

My only wish for my 26th year Earthside

is that I'll be braver. 

Lots of things in life makes me anxious.

The sheer magnitude of life itself makes me nauseous. 

But I can't be fearful forever. 

One day,

I'll have to walk through days of sadness, 

confusion, difficult decisions, goodbyes, 

new beginnings, stretched capacity, 

take risks, et cetera et cetera

I want to be braver in welcoming them into my life. 

Whatever happens, I want to be steadfast. 

I want to act more than I spend idly wondering. 

I want to do more than I plan on doing. 

So,

That's 26 for me. 

I'll check in next year & see what life brings in the upcoming year.
