Happy Birthday to Me.

Was called something extremely offensive. Old Janet would've blamed it on herself, would have cried,would've have wanted to give an empty apology when no one was at faulty, would have tried to designate a hero and a villain.

But I'm 22 today. And I'm smarter than I was at 21, and have realized that things are a lot more complicated than that. That there is never just a good guy or a bad guy. That humans possess both. We are far more complex beings than what we give ourselves credit for. But there's no need to obsess over your short comings. Life is too short for that.

I think I've kind of figured out how people move forward, how people chill out.

Happy Birthday to me.

-Janet
