So, I am 32 now. For my birthday , Wendy one of the coaches from our running group made a birthday cake, and my mom and I ate lunch together. I went to the movies with my friend Debra , and a couple of friends of ours, There I learned if enough people in your group tell the guy at the ticket counter they are senior citizens, out of confusion, they will give everyone in your group a senior discount. I ended up only paying 5.00 for my ticket . The movie we saw, Girls Trip was funny, and I want to see a movie at the Hueber Oaks theater again. I loved the reclining chairs we got to sit in while watching the movie.
I also got some packages from Washington in the mail.
I came across a jump drive with old photos, and writings from when I was 18, and the beginning of my twenties because my grandma loved to save everything.
While looking back at pictures, and things I wrote back back then I wondered how much I have changed since then.
I know I at least try to be healthy. I have learned that I can keep a job, and since I have been 18 have between now and then have lived with a friend, boyfriend, and of course family. My friend Shavonne said I have more backbone then when we first met. I would like to think I am a little better with money. I remember being in the red at the bank when I was younger, and charging things on credit cards that I knew I really couldn't afford. I hope that I continue to grow as a person. I want to be the kind of person that is always doing something to keep my mind, and body active, as well as be that person you can talk to about anything and everything.
But of course there are some things that will never change with age. I am still neurotic. I still daydream alot. I still like coffee, swimming, seeing friends, reading,writing, netflix binging, and staying up late. I am still waiting for my acceptance letter to Hogwarts, and I am still the girl who can't leave half price books without buying a book, or two, or three there.
So, perhaps as we get older, we are more like the trees in our yard. As much as we branch out, the important things will always stay the same.
Love you all,
Donna
