First found on Life Lessons Around The Dinner Table.
As of right now, I’m 28 years old. As I’ve said several times before, I’m incredibly grateful to have been on this Earth for these 28 years!
It’s hard to believe that my birthday comes around again just a few weeks from now. The last year of my 20s! It always seems to sneak up on me now. When I was a kid, though, it was a different story. I was always slightly jealous of the kids who had their birthdays during the school year – Their parents would bring in treats for the whole class, and so on. It felt like it took forever for August to arrive!
But, in a way, I’m also lucky. My birthday is during the summer, so I never had to go to school on my actual birthday! I did go to work a handful of times on my birthday, but now I’ve started to deliberately take the day off, if it falls on a weekday. I’ve really enjoyed it, and it’s like a mental health day where I can do whatever I want!

You are a most lovely and insightful person. A genuine ray of sunshine.
Thank you so much! All your posts brighten my day.
That’s incredibly sweet of you to say. I apologise for my absence, I’m now properly back.
You’re welcome. Don’t apologize. Everyone needs a break from their writing or blogs. Trust me – I know! I look forward to seeing your name in my emails, notifying me that you’ve published a new post!
That really warms my heart. I just blog about what I like, both on movies and my erotica site. It’s proven fun and very beneficial to me.
Same here. Writing is my therapy! One of these days, hopefully my work will be in bookstores and libraries, for everyone to read.
I don’t doubt that you will be a success. As for me, many have said I could have a career in erotic fiction. What do you think?
I definitely agree!
Thanks, I am happy with the reception it has received and you have been a wonderful supporter of it.
I’m so glad that you feel supported and appreciated – It makes a big different! Thank you for the kind words – I always try to support good writing!
I have so much love for everyone. First, for all being there on my main site. And second, for not thinking I’m someone dodgy when it comes to my naughty site.
Makes a big difference*
