To the majority of you guys, this is just another regular day. But for me, it’s a day celebrate life and being glad to see another year. Or to be more obvious, today is my birthday.
They say being 19 years old is weird number and I’m starting to realize it already. It’s the last year of being a teenager, but at the same time, you’re knocking on the door of being an adult in this society. You can say it’s the best of both worlds.
I figured out that when you’re a guy between the ages of 18-20 years old in America, you’re considered to be almost grown. Old enough to know what’s right and what’s wrong and being able to do certain things that you couldn’t when you were younger. But yet, you’re still too young do the things that you actually thought you can do once your 18th birthday came around. Like hitting up a strip club, drinking legally without looking behind your back every minute, going to a event without worrying about if it’s 21 and over, not getting curved by older females because I’m not old enough to buy a drink, and whole bunch of other scenarios.
This year I’m going to spend my birthday weekend with family and friends. Hit the movies, go out to eat, hopefully hit up some parties (if you’re from the NYC area, let a nigga know where it’s at this weekend). Just trying to make the best out of the situation. But in the meantime, I’ll just have November 18th by Drake on repeat for the rest of the night and answer all these phone calls, texts messages, Twitter mentions, Facebook wall posts, and happy birthday wishes from Tumblr followers (if I get any, lol).
I’m grateful that I lived 19 years on this earth and hopefully I know I will have many more years to come.
