happy half birthday to me.

i have a thing for half birthdays. today is mine. i like when there's something to silently feel extra special about. halves are a nice time of reflection.

i also really love the number five. and seeing as though i'm in my twenty fifth year of life that started in nineteen eighty five and this day is twenty five point five on a sunny april fifth and i just have a short point five of a year until the real birthday on october the fifth. (did you follow? i don't blame you if you didn't. i barely did).

seems a bit auspicious to me.
auspicious (adj). giving or being a sign of future success.

i think this day is a nice symbol in light of what the universe has in store for me and for every being.

just for fun, i found this handy calculator.
who doesn't love a good calculation?

here's what it revealed...
