Maybe because my birthday was so unusual this year
I was more aware of my .5th
and now that that too is over
I started agonising on shortly becoming 40
something totally unimaginable
Of course it shall be just as it always is:
nothing changes from one day to the next
I will get used to ticking one box lower in all those web-forms
to being in a whole different decade than most of my friends
and in the same one with many others
who always seemed so put together
who have kids in high school
comparison is the thief of joy
but how am I to fend it off
should I live on a desert island?
(What makes this post especially tragic is that I kept planning
a proper joyous one
with all the delights of the weekend...)
