  1. What dreams do I want to come true in my 30's? (AKA: Day 108)

    Lately things in my life have been unfolding like a delicate piece of origami. There are patterns on the page that I didn't know were there and creases in places I don't yet understand. I like that. It's kind of mysterious and exhilarating getting to know oneself on a deeper level.

    Since I turned 30 last Friday I've taken a bit ribbing about life being over, getting old and it all being downhill from here. I'm taking it all in stride because I know it's meant in jest but, well, ...

It really creeped me out because the sell by date on the lid was 4/18 and today is only the 14th. I find it disturbing that the apples could stay white for another 4 days…it made me not want ...
