Getting older is a funny thing. Of course I am not saying that I feel old, but 22 is a turning point. You are no longer a wild 21er, but not yet seen as a fully blown grown up. Celebrating another year of life can come with a lot of mixed emotions, under-realized expectations, and hopefully a delicious dessert. I spent my birthday in Carmel with my lovely Mama wandering around the shops and eating delicious food (see: breakfast at La Bicyclette). The shopping and sea breeze were two of my favorite things, but I found that the biggest gift of the day were the messages from friends and family Cue audience: "Awwww". One moment of thoughtfulness can make someone smile for hours. A friend (looking at you Alex) once gave me a card that said "the effect of one good-hearted person is incalculable". Going into my 22nd year I'm going to try and keep that mentality with me and remember that greeting the world with a good-heart makes all the difference. That, and buy the damn purse, eat the cake, and you can do anything for 10 seconds.
