To make a long story short

I had another birthday yesterday.
That makes forty-seven that I have had so far. I”m not a big fan of birthdays. I feel it’s a lot of pressure to put on one day. But, it is a good excuse to get drunk and spend money so that’s what I did. It was actually a really fun night. I could tell you all about it but I don’t want to . If you really cared you would have been there. Hopefully you are living your own life and don’t need to live vicariously through mine.
All I know is that at the end of the night I took a cab home alone. Last night I was pretty pissed off about that. Today I am grateful.
Today I can remember that a year ago I did have someone to spend my birthday with. I also know that what happened that night was so disturbing that I couldn’t even write about it factually. I had to write it as fiction.
Today I feel grateful to be alone.
Tomorrow… who knows how I will feel. It’s a funny thing about time.
Oh, that reminds me. I did learn something last night. I learned that time itself is a made up concept. I might have to think about that for a while.
I suppose time is a construct. We do so depend on our constructs as a species, do we not? All the more reason not to sweat the number of birthdays under your belt.
