What changed this month and what you hope will happen next month (PROMPT 29)

Let's see, the biggest change this month is I've been 29 for almost a month — do I feel any different or more mature, nah. I've been keeping busy with friends and family, which had been a lot of fun. I've been seeing a counselor, which has been interesting and helpful for my mental health. I'm pretty sure I messed up a potential relationship, but I'm not going to beat myself completely over it.

I was five years old, and I was ecstatic that I was going to have a little brother or at least that's what I have been told by my parents. I do remember asking my parents if we could name him Derek. Why? Well because there was a kid on Barney & Friends (yes, the big purple dinosaur) who I guess I liked. Evidently, my parents went with the name Damian. Damian...

Man oh man. Okay.  On May 1st I woke up in Albuquerque, got on the road back to Lovington after spending the weekend with my ABQ friends.

Things I want to say to five different people ... (PROMPT 24)

I kind of cheated with the rules for this prompt ... so bear with me. 1. Mom and Dad, where do I even begin to tell you how much I love being your daughter.
