Wonderful, beautiful, amazing people.

Yesterday was my twenty-first Birthday. "WOOO-HOOO!!" right?

Sometimes I realize just how hopelessly scattered they all are and have a mini heart attack... and then things like Birthdays happen, and I realize that even though all of these beautiful people seem to continue farther and farther away in all directions, they are really all still right here... sort of... and even if some of them will be gone for a very, very long time, or even forever, they have made each stage in my life spectacular in their own ways. Thank you, God, for my wonderful, beautiful, amazing friends. Old and new.

And also because journaling has become more difficult. (I mean, who has the time to pick up a pen and write these days, anyway?)

One of my professors once told me that sometimes you don't know what you think until you write it down. Or in this case, type it. So, let's see what I think...
