Happy birthday to me, Happy birthday to me, happy birthday happy birthday, happy birthday to me!
Aloha! ^__^
Happy birthday to myself. As usual, I wanted to post some kind of a birthday message but I got too lazy to compose new ones so I'll just plagiarize my FB post. haha!
Birthdays really are awesome, aren't they? They make you feel extra special. When the numbers representing my age changed yesterday, I thought... OMG, I'm one step closer to the big "3". Then again, what does it matter? As they say, age is just a number and growing old is just a phrase. Physically, nothing much has changed (well, maybe except the weight and the hair). But emotionally and, up to a certain extent, mentally, many changes were introduced to me. In the one year that followed my previous birthday, I'm still bad at math but my social skills improved. I met a lot of people and I've worked with various kinds of people and my understanding of the world has changed too. I've met new friends, let go of old ones, cut ties and made new bonds. I've fought with loved ones and friends, made up with them, made big decisions, faced struggles and trials and, as I stand here now, gained new experiences that I believe made me a better person. haha! My faith is stronger (although I still don't go to church) and my heart is bigger, haha! I'm still a so-so writer and my grammar hasn't improved but I think I'm prettier. Okay so the last phrase is just wishful thinking. haha!
I still don't know how to say no to people but I'm more mature in making decisions. Somehow, in the one year that followed September 24, 2013, I found myself constantly surrounded by people (some are friends, some are colleagues, some are not so nice...) and I realized that I like being with people. I got one step closer to self awareness and my values are constantly improving. I'm learning new things at work and I took to heart that quotation saying "no matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up).
I still love life and I still love food and I still hope to write a great story one day. I went to new places and experienced new cultures and I found myself wanting to travel more often. I still have to win the lottery and I still want to continue to be called a lawyer. I'm more blessed working with the government and I found out I'm actually okay with the office set up. I love still Arashi and I still think I'll marry Nino one day. ^__^
So to all those who made all the changes possible in one year, thank you!
In a beautiful cliched fashion, Godbless to myself and more birthdays to come. haha! ^__^
