Girl Holding On

Just celebrated a pretty significant birthday...the first, true leap into womanhood. And it was zero crazy-show. Zero neurotic hysterics. I looked my age in the face and said "oh, you again? for real?"

But it seems that an expiration date now applies to all those innocent things I used to have so much fun doing. Like wearing cheap frilly shoes from Payless. Over-romanticizing school-girl crushes and falling crazy-in-like with cute Australian guys at the office. Saying "like" too much...or "dur." And reading quick, easy chick-lit books written for 20-something girls but with the language level for 6th graders.

Yes, all of those things require some re-thinking....But maybe next year...
