surprise... i'm a fucking vampire!

i'm not just melladramatic today... it's like a whole mellamanic blow-out.

i turn 30 tonight at midnight.  i've decided however, to sell my soul to the devil and trade sucking the soul from others for an eternity of youth.  that means... forEVERRRRRRR.

so today marks the start of my vampire holiday.  i have found that adulting has seemed to reach it's climax.  you hear that God?  it's me Margaret, i was short changed here when it comes to aging.  you made me start adulting at 16 and didn't give me boobs until the age of 28!  somehow i think i'm aging backwards now.  earlier this week i threw an adult temper tantrum, crying on the floor.  because i missed my train.  yeah, we're there.  me and... well, me.  or maybe the devil was there.  God too.

somehow in this year i have found myself in this strange shifty space that has pushed me past the looking glass and down the rabbit hole.  people seem to back peddle and speak in some strange paradox tongue that i can't quite grasp unless i drink my minds worth in red wine.  adulthood, blah.

anyway, i have learned a few things over the past several years...

1. mean girls are forever.  not all of them outgrew high school, and some of them--much like my boobs, were late blooming meanies.  for example: mom-cliques and resting-bitch-face-office-hags.

2. mo' money, mo' problems.  that's a real thing.  focus on creating a life that runs on as little money as possible bc nothing is forever (except for mean girls, of course).  i don't want my happiness to rely on a paycheck!

3. hard work >> ________.  sometimes the reward of hard work is invisible.  and once you accomplish something you can always expect something new to fall on your plate.  the sooner you embed hard work into who you are, the easier life will be.

4.  can't stop, won't stop.  keep doing, keep reflecting, keep learning, keep growing.  just keep going.  don't stop.  but, if you need to take a vampire holiday... that's OK.

5.  relationships are hard.  the good ones are mostly easy, but there will always be road bumps... especially if you can't stop, won't stop.  remember what you have.  keep looking forward and recognize the growing pains.  and pull the fucking weeds!  there's no reason to invest in toxic people.

6.  have faith in people.  ok, between mean girls and bad eggs remember we are humans.  although people suck sometimes, those of us trying to change the world will band together and get the job done.  remember back when people took casseroles to each other during hard times, neighbors helped each other repair their fences, someone brought your dog to your house when it got loose?  people still do that. 

ugh, i was trying to be positive, but fuck you 30.  

FOREVER 29!!  long live my wicked ways.  keep your garlic handy or i will suck the life out of you.

cheers.
