Birthday Note (Arti on pause)

I just wanted to write a quick note to thank everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a great day here. In response to someone wishing me a happy birthday two of my friends who work at the school (Indian) launched into a conversation about how white people always look so old, at which point one of them asked me very seriously if I had just turned 30. HA. 21 going on 31.

Love,

Violet
