I started this list a few years ago, and now I am 31.
I have never been worried about getting older, but there is something about 31 that leaves a weird taste.
Thirty-one.
It’s just kind of bland to say.
Here’s to hoping that this next trip around the sun is the best one yet, despite how it feels to say 31.
Let’s see where I am with my 35 before 35 list on my birthday today.

The snail mail one was a goal of mine for this year. I’ve totally failed.. ):
I haven’t been doing very good with the snail mail lately.
