Good morning, 23.
On the calendar, you're already here, even though TECHNICALLY, you don't start until 6:25 tonight.  I guess that means I'm spending today in the weird 'end of 22/start of 23' limbo, the same one that happens every year during the daytime hours.
I'm hoping you're just a little bit better than 22.  I'm hoping that having a truly adult age to attach to the question, "how old are you?" (even if I'll ALWAYS act like I'm 7), some adult things will happen.  Maybe I'll be comfortable being Emily, whoever she is, and relax a little bit.  Maybe I'll keep my promise to not stay in every weekend.  Maybe I'll finally get the nerve to meet a guy and pursue something with it.  Maybe I'll believe I'm right sometimes, and not back down.  Maybe I'll really get to make a difference in somebody's life.  There are a lot of maybes floating around right now; I think that's a good thing.
So....
Welcome.



the song I WANTED to put here, "Jessie's Song (Optimistic Story)" isn't a track listing, but you can imagine...
