this always happens...
on awards day.
i feel so lame and average. oh i just feel like i’m doing nothing with my life. i second guess every decision i’m making about my life. i look at my bank account and i frown. i kinda just feel like i’m going nowhere.

wow.
this growing up thing is a lot trickier than i ever expected.
i like normal.
i like being with a whole family. i like eating around a big table, listening to old people say really funny things. i like watching dad open birthday gifts. i like eating german chocolate cake. i like falling asleep on whatever couch i want. i like being all together. i really really like it.
