Dan stayed over at our after the fun and games of last night so we woke up late and played video games together like a sleepover from my teenage years. We picked up a hardcore martial arts game called Sifu and passed the controller around each time we died, the game has a unique aging mechanic that seemed oddly appropriate considering I just passed another milestone.
A lot of messages in my Birthday cards make reference to all the things I accomplished in my 20's. On initial reflection, that age seemed like a decade characterized by false starts. Being let go from my first real job and wallowing around in my flat hoping for the better times to come is the mental picture I often draw of myself for the last ten years. In reality, it was an honest period of growth: graduating university, buying a house and getting into high end TV. My 20's have had a handful of lows but they tempered me and made me all the more grateful of where I am today.
I've had a wonderful Birthday weekend, now I just have to take my first steps into my 30's.
