Anniversaries, birthdays, graduations... We all have certain large obstacles in our lives that we manage to overcome as well as those times we've just simply made it through life a certain amount of time, often with someone at our side. Is there someone you want to congratulate? Is there something you want to announce to the world you managed to do or that it's your birthday? Feel free to pop in here and do so.

T'would seem that it's that time of the year...

Postby SpringsSong » 01/10/2012 9:17 AM

Yep--another year has come and gone, which means that, inevitably, all of us get older (even though some will avidly try and deny the fact).  Good thing that I'm not in the "avidly trying to deny the fact" group this year, because this year...

...well, I be leavin' the teenage years behind!

Yes, indeed; I have crossed the threshold from the teenage years and have now entered my twenties.  Can I believe that I've been around for this long?  Not really.  But that changes nothing, I've realized.  Even though there were years where I wished this day would pass me by because I felt like people wouldn't even care, I'm always proved wrong (like this morning... I woke up to six emails in my inbox; one from my parents and the other five from friends/family on Facebook wishing me a happy birthday... and ALL of them sent before I was even awake this morning).

So... yeah.  I'm now no longer a teenager~ and that alone gives me more reason to celebrate than next year's twenty-one (since I'm one of the few who is adamantly sticking to her guns when she says, "You could sweet talk me all ya want, you're not getting me anywhere near a bar or any alcohol when I turn twenty-one," because you won't).
Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this to see what's behind
Got no way to prove it, so maybe I'm lying
Take a look in the mirror, what do you see
Can you see it clearer, or are you deceived in what you believe?
Don't ask my opinion, don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness for making you cry
'cause I'm no prophet or Messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher

I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm only human, that's all it takes to put the blame on me

Don't put the blame on me

Happy Birthday Fire 8D~ He he I turned 20 last year XD

XD I agree with you there though. I did not want to go to a bar and I never plan to go to a bar ever~ Or at least not to drink.
(I could drink when I was 18 though and did but not much :P only a glass, never went to a bar though XD)

Happy Birthday Fire!! Hope it's a good one. :3

And I was runnin' far away
Would I run off the world someday?
Nobody knows
Nobody knows, and
I was dancing in the rain
I felt alive and I can't complain

Happy birthday dear!! I hope you have a good day today (and everyday)!


Falling from grace, I watch it all come apart
Knowing I could've changed it all from the start
I can't breathe, I need to break free
From the anger that is constantly inside of me

So many people older than me kaljsf. xD
Hope you have a super happy birthday, Fire~ :D



But there will come a time
You'll see, with no more tears
And love will not break your heart
But dismiss your fears
Get over your hill and see
What you find there
With grace in your heart
And flowers in your hair



"Tomorrow will be a good day."

Toxie quite literally took the words out of my mouth. it was the first thing I thought when I saw this. XD

Happy birthday, Fire! I hope it's a great one! Eat lots of cake and stuff! ice cream cake...

Welcome to officially being 'old enough to be held accountable, but not old enough for people to take you seriously.' I'm still in that phase, and I'm 22. XD

I love adventurous tales like that. That uplifting feeling that comes from seeing unknown lands and the knowledge that you came across—nothing can replace it! It opens a path from which self-confidence, experience, and important friendships—from the sharing of life or death situations—are born! But hearing it just isn’t the same. I want to create my own magnificent story!



A great adventure!

XD Thanks, everyone!  And Toxic: funny you should mention cookies, the senior missionaries at my ward made sure that I took all the fresh chocolate chip cookies I wanted BECAUSE it was my birthday.

Oh there will be goodies involved... tomorrow, though, because my Institute director forgot that I mentioned this to him yesterday so he said that tomorrow he would bring in a cake and we would have a party during our Institute class.  Which I am fine with because there're more people in the Monday/Wednesday class than in the Tuesday class including my crushee/guitar teacher.
