I’m 20. I’ve officially reached the age I used to lie about When downloading apps. How…cool? Shouldn’t I be stoked right now? Isn’t this supposed to be exciting? Why am I still squinting my eyes And crossing my fingers, While blowing out my birthday candles Wising to be my dad’s “little girl” again.
