Hey Birthday Girl.

(825)

Well, you've been 21 for about a week now.

You're currently Andy Warhol's backwash and wearing a tee you found in the mens section.

.

good

for

you

.

Let's jump into another dash(ing) list form, 

because that's what you do

-best

-well

-beautifully

ah, never mind. let's jump in.

WELCOME TO

Y O U R // L I F E

the over opinionated burbling* discourses of a something-weighed (yes, I again lied on my drivers license) legally-written adult living in the Provo area.

.a short list.

//there's a bump on your nose that you rub when you get nervous &&& 

Norma, your upper left cheek dimple, watches you intently when you do this.

\\movies make you feel jealous & nostaligic & lonely & overly excited & basically all of the other period symptoms. (which is probably why you cry after)

//back to this crying thing. you're not as bad as you're probably described. you've only cried over bunions, guys carrying boxes, stories about PetSmart, and other such guys praying over their 

Chick-fil-A sandwiches.

\\you traveled to Europe, you dawg. & got into your major. & made future Carly proud about you finally making those "life decisions". & mom liked all of the clothes you bought with your birthday money & didn't even make one passive-aggressive comment about how you occasionally dress like a (quote unquote: hobo) 

If you were to scan over your life right now.

||||||||||||||||||||||

you'd think it looked pretty complete.

but I'm sure it will get better.

Ya sure, one day the world will crash and burn (like all of your attempts to make brownies) and maybe the next world war will kabob your money, throw it on the grill, and eat it while you attempt to build a home out of your neighbors sandbox. & there's always the chance that Zac Efron will marry someone other than yourself.

but...dear Carly.

you've always enjoyed bonfires, and store-bought brownies, and Zac Efron's little brother

(& luckily you've always hated kabobs)

&. speaking as a completely objective third party observer with absolutely no personal interest in the matter.

these next years will be

-great
