it's not really an "ah-ha" moment, more of a HOLY SHIT moment

racing down the path towards the LATE 20s and apparently there is no ctrl-alt-delete button to stop/slow down the process.

and hello, how many times do you catch yourself thinking "holy crap, it's almost august" or "holy crap "it's 2009" or "how am i XX age ALREADY?" (no, but really, HOLY CRAP IT'S BASICALLY AUGUST ALREADY!!!!)

life is speeding by. i just hope everyone in their 20s (and really, just everyone in general) realizes that THIS MOMENT, RIGHT NOW will never come again. the freedom you may or may not think you have is limited. THINGS WILL CHANGE whether you're ready or not. hold on tight, folks.

(oh and, can i just say how surreal it is that i'll be attending my first friend-my-age wedding in a few weeks. reuniting with dozens of folks i haven't seen in almost a decade. it's going to be such an overwhelming but eventful weekend. we always knew she would be first....)
