Birthday's coming up!

i’m turning 25 in a couple weeks.

i won’t stop getting older. less innocent. less beautiful. less new. less prodigious. less mature for my age. less promising. less fun. less valuable. 

i won’t stop getting older. creepier. milder. sadder. more jaded. more alone. more like everyone else. more the same. further from the beginning. closer to the end.
