- "My birthday was 2ish days ago, one more year before the big three-o" ... 30!
That's a turning point. It's like the next chapter, right? Every year is a new chapter, but the big three-o...
Are those happy tears? They shouldn't be bad tears. I don't see what's bad about getting older. I used to. I used to dread it. I'm like, oh... 2839... oh god!
But now it's like... it's okay. Cause I understand it can be an uncomfortable topic, but I hope you find comfort with it someday.
- "But my back hurts!"
- Ah, yes! That's okay. We can lean on each other and also our crutches, and then we will make sure that we each take our anti-inflammatory pain medicine... for our busted old bodies.

It's okay.
