The picture above was taken on April 9th, my 31st birthday.
We didn't do much celebrating, but that was okay. Ever since the age of about 25, making a huge deal out of my birthday hasn't been something that I wanted to do. Now I would much rather spend the month of April catching up with friends that I don't get to see or talk to often.
I like having a birthday in the spring. It feels like everything is waking up and it gives me a sense that anything is possible in the next year. Why'd we ever switch to thinking the new year started in January (yes I actually understand why this is)? In January everything is still comatose, but in April you start to hear the birds singing again. All the trees turn bright green and sometimes it even gets warm enough to be outside without 72 layers on.
I wonder what year 31 will bring?
