Not to be an asshole, but it's presumably your third decade. (Like the 2000s are the 21st Century.)

right, he said "the waning days of my second days" meaning he is on the heels of his third. i got that. although, this "prose" is so moist that i didn't get that he actually slept with her. it's all so extra, this "prose." i wish there could be some clarity so i could decipher what's going on...

"waning days of the second decade" can ONLY mean 18-19. This was a mistake; wishful thinking, maybe, but no big deal. But I'm with L-- I don't think that this thesaurus-pumped cheerleader lyricism really suits Justin. Wrong style. The Digital Frontier De-subjectivized Gonzo Experimentalism better activates the prose for him, and in the end conveys more depth and resonance than this kind of thing. Careful, Justin--you don't want to sound like one of those wisful drones in Redmond who spend their meager time at home trying to recreate in blog mode their sophomore fiction writing workshops back at WSU.

Don't let others tell you, you can't.
Believe in what you believe, take your own path,
be true to yourself."

This is excellent writing, people! Would you put fois gras in between hamburger buns just so you could give it the familiar name of "sandwich"? :)

er...hamburger buns? foie gras? "sandwich?" is this yet another sexual reference that i am just not getting here?
