"The layered sadness and the madness it revolves"


It is a gorgeous day. Unfortunately for me, I have a lot of work to catch up on. Maybe later I will manage to get out for a little bit and go for a run. I really love the feeling I get in Spring, that everyday brings the guarantee that the days following will be increasingly more beautiful and warm. The beginning of April can be unpredictable to a point, but the point is that Summer is coming. I don't think I've fully come to terms with the fact that I'm turning 21 in 2 weeks. I can remember so clearly when my brother and his friends were turning 21, it seems totally unreal that they are now turning 25 and I am in their place. It's funny because whenever some thing big like this approaches I am tempted to want to put on the breaks. Yes, this is super awesome that I can now legally drink, but I have many years to be able to drink. Maybe I want to be 20 for another year? haha, just kidding. Really tho, I've heard that 21 is the ideal age, and that after 21 it all goes downhill. Will this be the last birthday that I look forward to? Shit. I guess if the world ends in 2012 I'll be glad that I had 8 months to be 21. Either way, 21 is coming. 
     Yesterday I practiced piano for an hour or so. Taking piano lessons was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I really enjoy playing the piano. It can be frustrating at times because I wish I was better than I am but I suppose that just means I need to practice more and I will improve more quickly. I am getting better tho and the plan is to continue playing over the summer. Well, I better get back to my work or I'll never get outside today.
