Faking It

So Windfall  has closed, which means I've taken some of the more depressing songs out of my playlist. And this month I've just been listening to stuff I want to listen to. Things that make me feel good. I love music. Give Me A Try by The Wombats Still Into You by Paramore Give Me Your Hand by The Ready Set Fader by The Temper Trap Desperate Measures by Marianas Trench Alone Together by Fallout Boy Work by Rihanna Starlight by Muse Endlessly by The Cab Vanilla Twilight by Owl City Cross My Heart by Marianas Trench Pretty Funny from Dogfight Make Me Like You by Gwen Stefani

I've been 30 for two weeks now, so obviously it's time to reflect on what it means . In the days leading up to my birthday I was experiencing a lot of emotions, which is new and strange. I usually only feel excitement because I love birthdays, especially mine. But you know that saying, "when one thing goes well in your life everything else falls to shit?" I'm paraphrasing but you know what I'm talking about right? I am a living embodiment of that saying at this current moment in time. So many things in my life are going well right now. They're not perfect, nothing ever is, but I'm truly happy with my job, with my passion in Theatre, with my attempts to be a writer, with the life I live every day. But every year my family make plans to have dinner on whoever's birthday it is. I wasn't expecting a lot, because we're all busy, but I was expecting a little bit of acknowledgment especially since this is a big birthday. But no one mentioned it
