if there be a hell upon earth, it is to be found in a melancholy man's heart

The 31-Day Photo Challenge

---

Day 25: A picture of your dayI'm choosing this photo on Wednesday night, after a day spent ruminating on birthdays past - and to come. This photo is from my 12th. I typically wanted angel food cake with a nontraditional frosting color; in this case, I was shooting for something closer to the same hue as my shirt (which fit me for all of about 2 months. I was growing fast at that age!). No green frosting on this year's cake.
