How My Routine Has Changed Since High School
I graduated high school 11 years ago. It’s hard for me to believe that. I was in special education throughout school. I was in this protected bubble of routines.

Guess what? Yes, I am and so is everyone else. So what? It’s not so bad. Yes, you get older. Everything aches, your hair might be starting to turn gray, and you’re not as young as you used to be. But we are all going to have to deal with it at some time in our lives. So instead of the negative self-talk that we frequently do especially on birthdays, embrace your age. Turn it into a positive.
