Age is something that doesn’t matter, unless you’re a cheese. Billie Burke

Tomorrow is my birthday. I thought about a serious post focusing on maturity and how to tell if you’ve got it. Then I though, maturity is like good hair: you either have it, or you don’t. I do. Not the hair, the maturity. Thankfully my hair is still ok, it’s not POWER HAIR like Jacqueline […]
