Since the month of March has started, I have been anxious on how my birthday is going to be. Lol, it is not as if I have any event or party planned for the day though but I just get anxious, don't know why.
So the long awaited day is here today 17th of March. So wishing myself a happy birthday and the best that comes with the new age.
Like I said earlier it's not like I ever had anything planned for the D-day but immediately I finish that particular year celebration, I start to think about how the coming one is going to be. From my photo shoot ideas to the my hair style and probably the restaurant I am going to treat myself with or think of an item to gift myself with. Like goodness, it is a lot of mental preparation.
I have had the screenshot of my birthday inspiration shoot ever since January. The shoot is a black lady rocking a completely white suit. It was so beautiful. So without wasting time, I saved it and sent the suite to a very good fashion stylist I know. I wanted to know the cost so that I will know if it is possible to get the dress or not, I mean money-wise.
To cut long story short, I couldn't afford the dress 馃槩. So the thought of having a shoot and all just left me because I just had lots of things that needed my attention in terms of payment and all. I just scrapped photo shoot out of the plan. But, God so good 馃榿,my photographer friend just messaged me to confirm my birthday and I told him.
He was like are you not having a shoot? I was like I do but things came up so I don't see the possibilities. He then said if I could come up with another photo shoot inspiration we can do. Guess what bursted my brain, he said he is going to photograph me as a birthday gift, therefore, I can save my money. I was super excited. I got the inspo, worked on it and it came out great
That took care of my anticipated birthday photo shoot.
The night before my birthday, I have already started to see wishes and epistles from people. I felt so great and I was like it is not even my the D-day yet and I am getting all these love.
I woke up some minutes past 12 to thank God for keeping me safe to see another beautiful age of mine because it is a huge blessing. So I wanted to post my pictures after the prayers and before I could even post mine, oh my goodness, my picture was everywhere on WhatsApp, everyone celebrating me. I was so overwhelmed with the love.
I use to think I can form hard guy and that no matter how overwhelmed I am, I won't cry. But hard guy did not work this time around oo. Before I could finish reading one of the epistles sent to me, tears have already rolled down my cheeks. I was so touched by those kind words and felt very pleased.

Asides the pictures everywhere on social media, my big sis call woke me up from deep sleep. I never knew her daughter could sing so beautifully well. I found out today when she sang me a happy birthday song. My ears danced in adoration to her voice. By the way she is just 7, and I am not so surprised too tho because her mom can sing so well too. It runs in the family 馃榿.
Wishes are still rolling in because na me get the whole of today 馃榿. About hanging out to celebrate, the day is still very young and its during the week, so that might happen later in the day or during the weekend. I am so grateful to everyone for their wishes. God keep us well, we go again next year and I pray I will celebrate it bigger and better. I have always wanted to wait till my age is around figure like 30,40 e.t.c. before I want to make the celebration grand but I changed my mind. Any year I have the opportunity to do do, I will and who knows, it can be grand every year 馃槀.
