i’m 18 now. they often say this is where you are practically at age zero, because it’s when your life truly starts. Is it? I can’t wait to find out.
I’m reminded of a quote in one of my favourite movies of all time, Troy. “The gods envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed.”
That is why i’m so grateful for being fortunate enough to have the knowledge and wit to start something like this. i’ll never be 18 again, but you, my lovely older me, will have this to read back on, and for that you’re welcome. ; )
PS: my favourite picture of my eighteenth birthday is linked.
