Volume 32.

Today marks the eve of my birthday.

I'm always quite reflective on this 364th day. Thoughts swirling around in my brain about the year gone by... 

Was it memorable enough? 

Meaningful enough? 
And who's keeping track anyway?

Maybe when you've clocked in your very last day, you get a parting gift.

Something to commemorate all the years spent wondering and waiting...

...working, wishing, and whatnot.

A thick, tattered tome to sum up all the years of your life.

And what would the title be?
