00:00What they don't tell you about birthdays is when you turn a year older, you're also all the years that
00:05came before that year.
00:06I just turned 28, but I'm also still 27 and 26 and 23 and 19 and 11 and 7 and
00:141.
00:15When you wake up on your birthday, you expect to feel your new age, but you don't.
00:19You open your eyes and everything's just like yesterday, only it's today, and you don't feel your new age at
00:25all.
00:25I still feel like I'm 27, and I am, underneath the year that makes me 28.
00:31See, one day I might say something stupid, and that's the part of me that's still 19.
00:35Or maybe some days I don't trust myself, and that's the part of me that's 23.
00:39And for no reason at all, I need to cry like a little baby, and that's the part of me
00:44that's one.
00:45Because the way we grow older is kinda like an onion, each year inside the next one.
00:50And our birthdays are just a celebration of all the years that came before, and a welcoming.
00:55Of the next.
