I’m turning 18 tomorrow and I feel like time has flown by so fast. My parents are throwing me a huge party, my dad’s idea, of course, and it’s nonnegotiable because he wants his business partners and rich friends to show up with gifts. If you’ve seen my previous posts, you already know my dad has a bit of a greedy streak, lol.

    I turned 18 during COVID, so not really.

    My whole childhood I had seen the “adult” section of Family video and dreamed of being old enough to go in (I didn’t know what it actually was for a long while)

    I had stopped in during my last week of being 17 and saw the adult section, but decided against going in yet. I was only a week away, I might as well wait. Right?

    The bastards closed the store the day before my 18th birthday. Waited my whole life just go be shut down one day before.

    I’m sure it wouldn’t have lived up to the hype in my brain from my younger self, but it annoyed the shit out of me that I’d never get to see what was back there. By 1 day!!

    Happy birthday, the next years go by so much faster than you could ever believe
