Today is October 28, 2016.
I turn 21 today.
The big event about 21 is that you can legally drink alcohol.
But, I signed a contract that states that I will not drink or smoke while on the race.
Some people would have trouble with that. They wait their whole lives to turn 21, so they can go out, proudly show their ID and get a drink.
But, I don’t really care. About the alcohol that is. I realized as everyone was eating breakfast this morning, and I’m sitting on the couch looking at everyone, I care about all the hugs I will get from all my squad mates and friends today. I care about being around these people and sharing the day of my birth with them. I’m glad that I get to be with them because I love and care about them. I want them to feel love from me today, I want them to know they are loved by me. I know it might be a little backwards, but I don’t want anything from them today. I only want them to know I love them. I want to embrace each and every one of them. I want them to feel the warmth of my love for them, and of God’s love for them.
It’s almost overwhelming how much I love them, and how my they love me. I cannot image a better way to spend my 21st birthday, and the day’s not even over yet.
I love you all so much <3
