long lost friends of my blog!

Another year has past and I have a fresh age; one with no mistakes in it, yet. Well, none that seem too huge anyway! I have already said I was going to do something and not done it, left my pajamas on the floor of my bathroom, and had nasty thoughts about a friend of mine who was doing something I wanted to do. But hey, I am human no?

It’s funny.  I remember being a little kid and looking at myself in the mirror and thinking, “When I get big, I will have it all together, I will know who I am and I will feel beautiful and confident all the time.”

Well, I am definately big now, in my late 20s in fact, and I am still waiting for the confidence and the beauty! It is so funny, I really thought I would hit a certain age and be “grown up”. Grown up? What is that? Like all of a sudden you don’t play, you don’t explore and ask stupid questions. You know what you are doing and where you are headed. How does that happen? When is it that we decide enough is enough. No more fun for you!

I think I will change the rules. Play all the time.

That is what this year will be about! Playing and relating.

I want to be a better friend, daughter, sister this year. I want to know that the most important part of my life are the people I relate to. The people I love and the people I have a strong distaste for (my mom always told me not to use the word hate!) I am beginning to coagulate as a person. I love that word, but it is true, that is how I feel. I was a runny yolk, bits of me going every which way, not knowing what to stand for, what is important to me. But this is starting to change. I am putting myself (albeit slowly) into hot water and consquently I am hardening, solidifying. Understanding what I want to stand for and why.
It is a cool and interesting process for sure.

I like. I like.

Happy Birthday to me.

With love
Allison

    Hey Allison, Happy belated birthday! I admire you for being secure within yourself even if it’s admitting that you’re not perfect. No one is really. I think the sooner we admit our faults, the less stressed out life is. When I was a kid I used to think adults had it all under control. Not. That when I grew up I would have everything planned out. I’m 23 and I’m still stumped. But it’s okay. I think the best thing for us to do is strive to make each year better than the last. So have fun the rest of the year!

    what’s funny is being “grown up” isn’t attained by a certain age. People do however have the ability to mature and grow (and need to), but its always good to still take time to have fun and appreciate life.

    Forget “growing up” and continue to “grow.”

    Hi Allison & Allison’s fan all over the world :-) !
    I think, the ”growing up” process is a very complex, invisible, unnoticed circumstance in our life. We notice only so much of it, that our thinking is maturer and our real values, the human appreciate in value, in us contacts, than family, friends and those who really count… this will the most important… who nourish with love, that let us be allowed to be open again onto the new one, the enduring one. Beautiful process, no? And more wonderful to experience. I think… :-)

    Happy ‘B’day to you :-) !

    Lots of love:

    Happy belated Birthday, Ms. Allison Mack!
    Just found out your birthday is on the same day as my dad’s, my uncle’s (dad’s twin), and my cousin’s (son of dad’s twin), so there’s no way I’ll ever forget it! haha

    Hope you had (and keep having) lots of fun! And hey, you shouldn’t worry, because you got the beauty, all right! You are beautiful both in your appearance and in your soul. And also, so far, in your 27 years of age, you’ve been no less than awesome, amazing, incredible and fantastic!

    Bye bye!

    God! I really wish that I could meet you. I love the way you think! You have this innocence about you and write really touching things. Thanks for being you!

  • Jacks

    I’m not the type of person who usually shares there life with complete strangers, but today is my birthday and I wanted to let someone know.

    I don’t have a family or friends to confide in, what I have in life are my music and a journal. I’m not trying to sound like a sob story its just I believe that birthdays are a big deal and I wanted someone in the universe to know that I made it to twenty two.

    If my parents were alive we would be laughing and having a party, things would be different, I would be different.

    But anyway hello and happy birthday to the two of us.

  • Jade Ruby

    I swear, Allison truly has a way of touching us deep within our hearts. Thanks so much Allison.

    I’m new and therefore late to reply. First, do I detect a delicious reference to Anne of Green Gables at the beginning of this blog? If so, you’ve just made my day a bit happier.
    Welcome to the new year, and know you’re not alone in wondering how mid-to-late 20s could be adult. Did our grandmothers feel all grown up at our age? Did they have it all “together,” feel confident and beautiful and strong all the time? If so, I want to know how they pulled it off! For now, let’s agree to tell ourselves it’s okay to play and to take our time learning and changing. Maybe we’ll be the better for it when we find ourselves honestly, fully “adult.”

    Your a different person every day. You may wake up tomorrow and feel grown up and you may wake up the next and feel like your 5. Happens to me all the time.

    I didn’t feel truly comfortable until 30. It was then that I said “Today is the first day of the rest of my life” and meant it.
