Hi guyssss….. It's my birthday today!
Birthdays are special days. It’s a day to celebrate and appreciate one’s self. A day to reminisce on past events and to make plans for the coming year. Most of all, a day of gratitude!
My birthdays are my special days (27/03). I always look forward to that day. There are quite a number of reasons why my birthday makes me feel special.
First of all, it’s because it’s my birthday, so of course its special!.. Lol
Secondly, my birthday falls on Aries which happens to be the very first zodiac!
Additionally, my birthday is the first birthday that comes up in my family. I celebrate mine first before the rest.
Lastly, any day of the week my birthday falls on is the same day my siblings’ birthday falls on. So since this year’s birthday happens to be on a Sunday, the birthday of my 3 siblings will for sure be on a Sunday!. It’s been like that all the time. It’s almost like I set the pace for the rest. This makes me feel sooooo special!
Last year was my silver jubilee and it felt like the most special birthday of all time but here’s another one and it feels just as special and even more special than the last.
A lot has happened in the past one year. One of them is that I finally graduated from the university after 5 years and an extra one-year delay caused by lecturers’ strike and corona lockdown.
In this past year, I became a corp member! Currently serving my fatherland in a remote village (not complaining.. I think).
One more big achievement… I found Hive!
Yes, Hive was one of my wins in the past year that I’m super grateful for.
There have been several sweet and not-so-sweet experiences, lessons were learnt and of course I became wiser. I’m grateful for life and all it has offered me so far. I’m grateful for the beautiful people that I met in the past year, the ones that left and the ones still in my life. I’m grateful for my closely knitted family. I wouldn’t trade them for anything!
It’s another year. I’m getting older and these days all I keep hearing is how time is going fast and how I should bring a suitor home as soon as possible. Well, there’s little or nothing I can do about that part so I'll just tell those disturbing family members to just take a chill pill… Lol
My uncle sat me down today to remind me that today is a good day to properly look at my life and ask myself how much I’ve achieved so far and where I’m going from here. He said that time is going really fast, faster than we even realize and that if we don’t learn to maximize every second, we might lose it. He said there’s no room for regrets and that all we have is "now", this moment to make the right decisions and take the right actions.
That was the perfect birthday message for me. One I really needed to hear.
I’m going to try to remember this more often in this new year of mine.
I didn’t receive any gifts this year but I had more people wishing me and celebrating with me today. It meant a lot!
Once again, Happy Birthday to me!
Cheers to a new beginning!
