god it's so weird turning 30!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30 years oh my god. it's my birthday. i had to do a little math to figure it out in sweeps.

only gets weirder, i'm afraid! ~u~

oh, nothing so ominoUs, jUst sUrreal. there's a point when yoU realize how mUch yoUr worldview has reoriented itself since yoUr most defining moments, which are becoming an increasingly small blip in yoUr life! :U that, and traUma does have a frUstrating tendency to rear its Ugly head when yoU least expect. sUrvivor's gUilt, and all that rUbbish. u~u that said, i woUldn't trade it for the world! i love my wife, my daUghter, my niblings... i love so many things aboUt this life that i coUld never have had withoUt time's Unthinking passage! ^u^
well this isn't my first go around. i'm new here, but i'm not, like, fresh off the boat, as it were. i know people who don't even go to this school! but sometimes you need to get out more, you know? even if things are weird, and even if it can be a little messy.
