I’m Twenty Three

Whole Foods pastries with candles stuck in them from Martin. And he gave me Tea Forté, those little pyramidal tea bags, complete will little ‘tea stands’.

My last birthday was spent in Salamanca, a realization that made me a bit nostalgic. The previous birthday might as well have been in another world, as my life was so different then.

And the seasons, they go round and round…
