I have a January birthday (that I no longer "advertise" on social media, or at least I haven't for a few years, we shall see) and so each year is like a new age for me, if that makes sense. (Makes sense to me... my new age lines up pretty close to a new year.)
Well, this year is my last year in this particular decade. It's a "nine" year for me. Which is going to be hard, again, to remember since dates and years and ages haven't "stuck" for me in a while, especially since Covid, which... I'm not even sure how long we've been in a pandemic now... but not the point.
So while I forgot my age most of last year, I might do the same this year but it won't be because I'm avoiding, it's just because I don't remember most of the time. Just like I started putting the date as 2024 in December and I'm still confused that it's January when the difficulty (for me) of this month makes it feel like we've been in this year forever.
Anyhow, I kind of forget why I brought this up... maybe I was going to talk about my intention for the year, which in short, is to try to make some significant positive changes for myself so that heading into my next decade of life I can do more than I currently can.
First thing that's happening of note? I mean other than my ongoing personal growth (supported by counselling) and trying some BIG changes there (like leaning on folks in maybe a different way than I would have "allowed" myself before and working really hard to make some changes in my typical thought patterns towards myself) I'm having Jason help support me learning to cook. I mean I can cook, I have the ability. But I mean we're swapping out my mediocre tools with good stuff (used when possible) and, well, one of those post notes I mentioned is talking about how I kind of cooked us Christmas dinner.... sort of. Which is unheard of. So yeah, I guess I'm saying that this year my intention is to use it as a year of change as best I can in positive, supportive ways.
I should probably write more about this, but right now all I know is that I started this post and I'm not sure why so here we are.
Now go sing that Aquarius song from Hair for me eh?

Thanks Jason, you rock :)
Happy belated birthday. I hope it was exactly how you wanted it to be. I'm also a January baby. I also can never remember my age and when I do it startles me...when did I get old??
I think I have a bit more than a half decade on you, so I can tell you that changing decades has had zero impact on me...other than hitting the age for some additional annual medical procedures that now happen. So, don't worry about the next decade and enjoy yourself.
Happy belated to you too!!!!
*hugs* :) and thanks.
