21 Year Old

So the day has come
The big two one
But age is not just the number of times
You’ve been around the sun
It’s a measurement wisdom gained
Before it’s all said and done

We really liked how you flipped the whole “21” thing into a celebration of wisdom, not just age. It’s cool how it feels like a fresh, thoughtful take on growing up!
