Today is ma birfday!

Today, I turned twenty years old.

20.

I've been out of high school for two years.  And those years have felt like lifetimes.  My priorities have shifted, and I'm an entirely different person.  On top of that, I feel as though I'm finally breaking through some of my depression.  It's a rather strange feeling, seeing as I've been depressed pretty much all of my life.

It's a strange feeling, but I almost think I'm becoming an adult.  I've been living in my own apartment for 2 months as of today, and I only owe my parents a little more money than I'd like to admit to.

But today comes with an even stranger realization.  When I was between 14 or 16 years old, I had a startling and life-changing realization:  Every single person on earth looks like and acts a lot like a monkey.

Today, I realized something profound and interesting:  I, too, look a lot like a monkey.
