For those of you who don’t know, today is Children’s Day in Mexico, so happy children’s day to all! I know it’s not a holiday celebrated in the U.S. (not sure about the rest of the world), but it is definitely a holiday in Mexico and celebrated as much as Mother’s Day.
Since I still owe you some pictures from my trip to California, it seems apropos to share with you today the ones from my day at Disneyland. As I probably mentioned before, the main purpose of the trip was to celebrate my birthday…ahem…my 29th birthday.
Despite being aware that I am still very young and the fact that I had never before been bothered at the thought of getting older (empashis on the er!), I have recently found myself freaking out a bit at the idea of turning 30. It’s not so much the acute realization of the inevitable aging process that has been causing my anxiety, although I must confess that witnessing the birth of a slight wrinkle under my eyes has gotten to me more than I ever thought it would back when wrinkles were exactly just a thought and not the imminent fact they now are, but the idea of running out of time to keep postponing some of life’s most important decisions, i.e. whether or not to have kids, is what has me twisted. I am also not entirely thrilled to be turning 30 with so many questions about what I really want to do with my life still unanswered, but I suspect 30 is not gonna sit around and wait for me to figure it out and it’s just going to come slap me in the face in exactly 340 days. I also suspect that if 29 years haven’t been enough time for me to figure it out, it is unlikely that less than a year will do the trick, thus I’ll probably be carrying my 20s motto way into my 30s: go with the flow.
Anyway, I apologize for raving about the latest trigger of my everlasting existential crisis. This post was originally meant to be just about sharing the photos of one of my happiest birthdays, which I spent in Disneyland indulging my Peter Pan syndrome. I would highly recommend you try it some time. Without further ado, here are the pictures:
