Peaceandlove67 Article: 20th Birthday Speech

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hi, everyone! Antonia here, and this might seem a bit premature, but my 20th birthday will be here before we know it. On March 1, I will be twenty. That's less than a buwan away.

I'll be honest. I'm not ready to be an adult. Starting March 1, I won't be a teenager anymore. I have less than a buwan as a teenager. I'll wake up on March 1, and I'll be an adult. I just don't feel ready. Of course, those who are already adults have told me that there's not much difference between nineteen and twenty. I mean, there's nothing I can do on March 1 that I can't do on February 28.

Feel free to send me a birthday message, wish me a Happy Birthday on my wall, or post a picture on my club on March 1. I'm not begging. It's up to you. You can do all of the above if you want. Again, I'm not begging. It's up to you. If you're already twenty or older, feel free to tell me what's it's like. Do you feel like an adult? If so, when did you start feeling like an adult?

Rubyrings The minute I woke up on my 20th birthday, I felt so strange. I realized I was an adult, and I wasn't ready to be an adult - pretty much exactly what you're describing here. Eventually I adjusted to it, but for the longest time, I still felt like I was 18 inside. (Except of course when I went to places that served alcohol, because you have to be at least 19 to order alcohol in Canada.) Good luck with the 20 milestone, and I hope you get something really spectacular for your birthday.

80smusiclover1 I hope the same thing. Don't worry, you're not alone. When I turned twenty last December, I didn't feel like an adult at all, especially since I look very young for my age.

BingoPB I wasn't ready to be an adult when I turned twenty. I actually didn't start feeling like an adult until I started shadowing at the veterinary clinic in my hometown. I did it when I was in high school, but I was a teenager then. Being an adult isn't so bad, Antonia. I can assure you that it's going to be okay.

ktichenor I hope you have a great birthday, too. Tbh I felt nothing when I turned 20, in fact I actually became an adult at sixteen cause that's when my mom started declining. So, I never had teen years but I learned that age really was just a number and that it was just more important to enjoy life and not really worry about how old you were getting. But I can understand that you're scared just remember to enjoy life and think of all the opportunities you'll be getting. And if it helps I'm 34 and a lot happier than I was at 19. :) But good luck!

yorkshire_rose I wish you a wonderful day too,Antonia.I think age is just a number really, as Kirsten says.I would just take each day as it comes,and enjoy it to the fullest,as life is too short for anything else.I like this quote "Life Is a Journey ...Not a Destination" That is so true.We learn at on lif'e's journey.I hope that your journey will be full of,happiness,joy and many blessings along the way, my dear friend 💕

Peaceandlove67 Thanks, everyone. Maybe being an adult won't be so scary after all.

Paul's New Friend
One morning, I went downstairs for breakfast, and my parents were waiting for me. Father said, "Paul, we have something to tell you." I asked, "What is it?" Mother said, "We thought you could use something to lift your spirits, so we decided to take you to get a puppy." I said, "Wow! My very own puppy! I can't wait!" Father said, "We found a Siberian Husky breeder. We're going over there tomorrow." I said, "Hooray!" That night, I went to kama early. I wanted to make sure I was well-rested to ensure that I would be ready to meet my new friend. I overheard my father said, "This...

Paul's Tragic Loss
One day, my friend, Alice, and I were playing sa pamamagitan ng the river at the end of town. At one point, she tapped me and said, "Tag! You're it!" She ran off laughing. I laughed, too. I shouted after her, "Not for long!" Alice attempted to tumawid the river sa pamamagitan ng jumping from rock to rock. She then slipped and fell in. I said, "Hold on, Alice!" I plunged in and tried to save her, but I got caught in the branches of a fallen tree. I tried to get free, but it was no use. I heard Alice's cries for help, and then there was silence. My neighbor at the time happened to be passing by. He helped...

Introduction
The members of The Devil Wants Peace and the members of New Religion met one araw just to hang out. Paul was doing what he does best, cracking jokes. Erin said, "Paul wasn't always the comedian he is today. He actually had a pretty tragic childhood before we met." John said, "Really?" Peter said, "A funny guy like Paul had a tragic childhood?" Stan was also in disbelief. Lola said, "Paul once told me that he though he was a loser before he met Erin." Carl said, "He told me the same." Paul said, "It's the truth." Allen said, "Tell us about it." Paul froze in shock. "Seriously?" he...

Ten Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Peaceandlove67

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hi, everyone! Peaceandlove67 or Antonia here. BingoPB made a listahan like this one, and I decided to make my own list. Here it goes.

1. Although I currently own sixteen necklaces, I do have my favorites. My personal favorites are the one with a picture of my dog, Diesel, that says "Fur Angel" on the back, my asexual pride necklace, and my birthstone necklace.

2. The only ring I own is my high school class ring. I very seldom wear it, but I do like looking at it. It has my birthstone for the gem. It has a peace sign on both sides, but on one side, it has the taon I graduated (2018), and on the other...

I gradually gained some madami friends, but Hillel and I remained the best of friends, even after we finished college. One day, while we were browsing a music store, we were talking about different artists. We talked about how the notes would be too high for us to sing on certain songs, so we agreed that we would change the key to hit those notes. The store owner had been listening to our conversation. He said, "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. What instrument do you guys play?" I said, "I play guitar." Hillel replied, "I also play guitar." The store owner said, "Well, I have a...

One day, I went to the river close to the college to take a picture of it for my mother. I promised her that the susunod time I came home, I would bring back a picture. I got too close to the edge and fell in. Normally, I am a pretty good swimmer, but the current was strong. I grabbed onto one of the rocks and tried to hold on. My hands began to slip off of the rock, and I knew then that I had no choice but to let the current take me wherever. I yelled for help as loudly as I could. At first, the only response was my echo. Then, I heard Hillel shout, "Letty!" I cried, "Hillel! Help me!" He found...

It was summer, and I was back at tahanan helping my parents with the farm. The summer was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Hillel and I kept in touch throughout the summer. One day, when we talked over the phone, I said, "My parents sinabi it was okay with them. I wanted to ask you if you would like to share an apartment with me this year. I don't want to go through another bad roommate experience." He said, "I'd pag-ibig to! I'll go ask my parents if it's okay." There was silence for a long time. After a long time of silence, I heard Hillel's voice again. He said, "I'm back. They sinabi that since it was okay with your parents, it was okay with them." I said, "That's great." Toward the end of the summer, we moved into our apartment. I was glad that I didn't have to put up with a roommate listening to rap music and refusing to turn it down. I later learned that Hillel was a very valuable roommate. I never knew that one day, he would end up saving my life.

One day, as Hillel and I were walking around the campus to kill time, my roommate showed up with two guys who looked like thugs. My roommate said, "Oh, if it isn't Letty, the girl who hates rap music." I said, "It's okay if I can understand the words. That's why I like Red Hot Chili Peppers. When Anthony Kiedis raps, I can understand what he's saying." She said, "Let's get her, boys!" My roommate and the thug guys charged at me. They were ready to beat me. Hillel jumped in front of me and shouted, "If you want to beat her up, you'll have to get through me!" They began beating on him. I cried,...

This is what a Canaan Dog looks like.

As the months passed, Hillel and I were becoming very close. As we approached our pasko break, (or winter break in Hillel's case), we agreed to keep in touch. I was looking pasulong to seeing my dog, Rufus. Rufus was a big dog, a King Shepherd. King Shepherds look like German Shepherds, but they're larger and have better hips. He had been my companion since I was in third grade. He had what I referred to as "bear paws". When I made it home, I called for Rufus. He didn't come. I called for him again. He still didn't come. I thought that something must be wrong. Rufus always came when called....

The susunod araw after our classes, Hillel and I were walking down the concrete stairs as we were leaving the building. I Nawawala my footing and tumbled down. Hillel slid down the rail to make his way to me. He knelt down beside me and asked, "Letty, are you all right?" I said, "I think so." I was struggling to get up. He said, "Let me help you." He helped me up. I began to limp a little. He said, "You're hurt." I said, "I'm okay." He said, "But you're bleeding." I looked down and saw blood streaming down my leg. I felt physically sick at the sight of it. Blood has never been my paborito sight. Hillel...

He asked, "Are you saving this upuan for someone?" I said, "Oh, no, I'm not. I don't really know anyone here. I'm from a different state." He said, "I see. Do you mind if I sit here?" I said, "I don't mind." He sat beside me. Once everyone arrived and was seated, the professor explained what would be covered in the class. He then said, "You may talk for the time we have left." I decided to talk with the boy sitting susunod to me. "What's your name?"...

It was August. As I was driving to the campus of the college of my choice, I reflected on my high school experience. It wasn't a great one. I sometimes had a feeling of "I have a lot of friends, but is anyone there?" I had a lot of acquaintances, but I never really had any true friends. They never understood my interest in the liberal arts, particularly in the humanities, which of course, included music. I was unfortunately bullied a lot, and sa pamamagitan ng a lot, I mean A LOT. None of my so-called "friends" ever defended me. I sometimes found it ironic that my name is Letty, which literally means "joy",...

On the final night of the tour, the two bands decided to give a konsiyerto performance based on what the audience wanted to hear. They mainly suggested some classics from both bands. They also suggested a few cover songs. Among them was the Oak Ridge Boys hit, "Elvira". Paul knew the song sa pamamagitan ng heart, so he sang the lead. John chose to sing bass. After the concert, Erin said, "I didn't realize you had such a big range, John." He said, "Most of the fans don't realize it either.

One night, as the two bands were performing, Paul did not tell his mga kaibigan that he was in a lot of pain. He managed to make it through the pain with every song. The pain was in his right side. After the concert, Paul was shaking violently. Erin asked, "Paul, are you okay?" He said, "Yeah, I'm fine." Lola said, "No, you're not. You're shaking." John said, "She's right. You're sweating madami than the rest of us, too." Carl felt Paul's forehead and said, "You're burning up, buddy. You look very pale, too." Paul admitted that he was feeling pain in his right side.

One day, when the two bands were getting ready to meet for breakfast, Stan and Lola got stuck in an elevator. It wasn't just any elevator. It was quite dark. From a young age, Lola had a fear of the dark because of her poor vision. She had glasses for as long as she could remember. Pretty soon, she said, "I'm scared, Stan." He said, "We're just stuck. We can sound off the alarm for help. It'll be all right." She said, "I have a secret for you, Stan. Promise me you won't tell." He said, "Don't worry, Lola. All secrets are ligtas with me." She said, "I'm scared of the dark." He said, "There's no...

Paul said, "I guess." There was a tone of sadness in his voice. John asked, "What's wrong, Paul?" Paul said, "Even though I'm doing better, I sometimes think I'm still not over my father's death. Oh, John, how did you get over your father's death?" John said, "The loss of a friend or a loved one is not something one gets over. You'll always miss them, but over time, dealing with it gets easier." Paul asked, "How did...

Allen asked, "Didn't you say you got into gitara because of his death?" John said, "I wouldn't exactly word it like that, but I came to know about the gitara after he died.
