Euro Entry #1

So I flew out late last night (a little after midnight) which is when I turned 24. It's my birthday today. Typically family says happy birthday over whatsapp, gove you a call, give you a hug or whatever. When it was my sistets' birthday the minutes to midnight were counted and kisses at midnight and hugs and all that. Same with my brother and both my parents. Not to mention the Whatsapp marathon that happens between 12-12:05. For me, I was in the same room as everyone else, not a single person remembered to say happy birthday at midnight. They remembered when I was leaving to the airport half an hour later. I know it's stupid but it hurt. Even my extended family forgot to say happy birthday over Whatsapp and my friends didn't remember till hours later when I put up a snapchat of my passport and ticket saying that this is a good way to celebrate turning 24. Why is it that when it comes to me I'm forgotten by just about everyone. With everone else people remember. Is there something that makes me less important? Do I really not matter to anyone that not a single person said happy birthday on time? Seriously? Why?


anyway. I'm out of the shithole for 10 days and intend on enjoying, so although I'm quite hurt -even though it's minor I know- I intend to block it all out and just enjoy my time. I'm going to drink, get high, make out with strangers and live my life and enjoy it. I'm going to block it all out. I arrived to Stockholm today. It has this sense of serenity which is really cool. It's not the most entertaining or popular but it's beautiful in terms of outdoors. I assume we're going to a pub tonight. Neither me nor my buddy feel like clubbing. Which is good. The clubbing scene and the too much people in a closed area makes me tense and I don't feel so at ease. 


Anyway, I'm hoping to keep writing while I'm travelling. I assume the coming entries will be more interesting considering alcohol and more will be involved, but for now that's all.

Oh Sweety theyre not forgetting you theyre are just jealous and I'm sure they themselves don't even relige it themselves not yet anyways. Vary few people get to go out of the country like that. Cause you mom and dad might just be mad at you but as soon as it acures to them Umm what if I had have had a change to go there when I was 24. Would I??? Offffff course they would have. We each make our own lives and charcter and personalltys and that all comes from everything we have seen or heard sence we first came out of the womb. But please Do be vary careful. Theyre are a lot of diaeses out there and things that could influence the rest of your life. I am 57 and now I see it all I did not back then. ALWAYS live your life with NO regrets because regrets are the things that make your senior years harder on you. And ALWAYS always with NO exception go anywhere without your friends. And that goes for there and here actually. Have a blast girl I sure would if I was you. But do NOT do any heavy drugs there some that will addict you on just onetime useage. Stay away from them and the people that are doing them. Remember ( NO REGRETS ) :-) Jim :-)

I hope you are having a fabulous time. Glad to read you are with a buddy! As for your family, I've found asking why only leads to frustration. Ask Them why....be ready for their responses. Take care and a belated Happy Birthday to you!
