Why Is It ...

… that when my birthday comes around—and it’s today y’all 🎂—I feel nothing like the number of candles on my cake? Is it cuz I’m child-like, young at heart, or childish?

… that sometimes when I look at people I get a headache?

… that there are people in the world that I have to speak to in life that are so dumb they make me squint?

… that people think they’re bad asses until it comes to pulling two shopping carts apart?

… that it's only at this point in my life that I have realized I should have tried to be good at something?

… that one day I'm jumping off a swing like I haven’t a care in the world and the next day I'm holding onto a wall trying to put on pants? No ... seriously!

… that with all of the overthinking I do I still don’t make better decisions?

… that when I’m hungry nothing is funny and everyone is ugly?

… that I think I wasn’t put on this planet to weather hardship, but am here only to delight and perplex people with my behavior?

… that when people ask how old I am, I say, “I’m this many,” and then open and close my hand for a minute or two?
