Life is good. And by good I mean: hard, happy, tiring, sad, fun, restful,
stressful, really sad, painfully sad, inspiring, educational. Life is good.
As you might guess,
things have grown into a hairy jungle of
events/obligations/chores/outings/responsibilities that most of you know as
life but as a 24 year old, I am still getting used to this ´grown up´
concept.
All of a sudden I am
worried. About? Wrinkles.
Work. Mouth wash. My best friend´s mom. My boyfriend´s mom. My mom.
My family. Colonoscopies. Jobs.
My credit score. My dog´s rabies vaccine. What I will eat for dinner. Savings accounts. Drinking too much coffee. Sunscreen.
The 401k that I don’t have. Dying
on the chicken bus. If my compost worms
have enough to eat.
No wonder my niece
calls me ´crazy Aunt Sam´ (in a condescending 4 year old voice). But honestly, it´s been a bit rough. My doctor says it´s normal, a mid-twenties
coming-of-age if you will. I say,
culture shock from returning from THE AMERICAN EXTRAVAGANZA OF 2013. Who knows.
All I know is that I am mortal, and I can´t believe I´ve gone 24 years
without flossing. WHAT WAS I
THINKING? (answer: Obviously not about
gingivitis. )
