do your thing 21 (it's my birthday)

THERE IS NO WAYYYY I'M 21, but I'm sharing how I have grown in the past year and how I genuinely believe that this past year exponentially and astronomically beats all other years I've grown in my life COMBINED. I am so so proud of myself and am smiling down at 12-year-old me who was the most confused Pakistani American girl trying to figure out everything from my hair texture to how to score big on the SATs. Also, what it may mean to be 21 now that I'm, "legal". ENJOY
