Hey babe... let me tell you... 21 IS NOT OLD!!! I was soooo upset on my 21st birthday cos I thought it was All Over (I felt like that on my 18th too, btw). I'm 24 now, and I look at 21 year olds and think "omigod, they're sooo young, they've got sooo much time to do ANYTHINg they want". And I feel old. Again. At 26 I'll probably look at 24 year olds and think the same thing. It's being depressed that makes you feel like that - it's not a reality. I just wanted to say this cos I spent the years from 21-23 so convinced it was all finished and because I hadn't achieved anything so far I never would, that I wasted them. It was only at 23 that I woke up and saw the years passing by and suddenly started to try and get out and do things... You are wonderfully, gloriously young! Have a great birthday! AL x
