I turned 30 yesterday. Hooray. Hooray.

It's clearly not a bad thing. My friends and family all celebrated with me down in a park by the ocean. Even though I don't have kids yet, the friends who brought theirs with them made such a positive difference.

One day, people everywhere will be able to enjoy public spaces with their friends. I'm grateful that I can already do that. It was one of the best birthdays I've ever had.
