Day 21


Pearl is a singer.
Remember being 21?
The Birthday you thought would change your life.
Remember dreaming that everything would be different and life would start to finally make sense. The future would come into sharp focus. Remember taking your first drink (ok, i realize I am in the minority having waited until the actual 21) and not understanding what the big deal was. Remember having strep throat on your birthday and going to bed early because you were in tech week for a show. Remember your 19 year old brother telling you to drink a shot or two of fire-ice to help numb the horrible sore throat. Remember it working! Remember going to bed and wondering if, upon waking tomorrow, the world would be yours and remember knowing you would grasp each and every opportunity you were presented with.
Did you?
Or was that following morning just another morning?
Remember, learn, and start over again. Be 21 again.
And again.
And again.
