In the past, I've made posts about things I've learned over the course of the year in the week leading up to my birthday. This year I'm turning 31 and I've learned quite a bit.
Again, I'm not a birthday person. I don't need to be showered with heartfelt "HBD"s from people I barely care about/remember/want anything to do with on Facebook or even gentle reminders that I'm another year close to being worm food.
But here's what I've learned:
Lesson #7 - Love is Weird
You'd expect a lesson like this to come from someone who's recently had their heart broken or is in a relationship you'd classify as "It's Complicated" on Facebook.
Wow, lots of shout outs to Facebook in this post. You're welcome, Zuckerfuck.
But I'm in a fully committed, going-on-two-years relationship and I'm happy. I've thought a lot about love this year, though. What a weird thing it is that you choose someone and decide to spend your life with them.. or at the very least your time and your money on them.
It's always a sweet battleground of mushy gushy crap and fighting about who did the dishes last. It's a series of adoring each other and annoying each other. Laughing and crying. Showing each other dog memes and ignoring each other altogether. It's weird and wild and eventful and stupid and magical and I'm glad to be a participant instead of a voyeur.
