Does growing up mean I have to be bad with words? Or am I just too lazy to express myself?

Today I am 26 and for the rest of the year I’ll be represented by that number.

Looking back makes me want to scream because of the downs and downs that happened the whole year. I could only count the days I had smile on my face. Thanks to those who brightened my day and helped me get through all the tough times I had.

I treat those as wonderful experiences and perhaps, I’ll be more guided because of them.

Now is not the time to look back with regrets. Now is the time to move on and be the best that I always am. I used to say that I am capable. I’ll say it again. I AM CAPABLE.

For the past years, I am grateful for my parents who always support my every decision. They’re the ones I would normally run to when I’m depressed. I love it when they panic. I have a lot of friends too that build me up whenever I feel like dying. I have a very strong support group that’s why I’m still surviving. I can’t imagine living the past years without them.

I have lived a crazy life and now I have plans of putting it in order. I will try to make a big leap this year to satisfy my hunger and thirst.

There are so many things I would love to do for my birthday. I have the whole week to do whatever it is that comes out of my crazy mind. There are lots of cakes to slice, chips to munch and bottles of liquor to empty.

I have the whole week to celebrate this God-given life. He has blessed me with so many things that sometimes I feel guilty that I do not use them well. I promise to have more courage and determination to live His plan.

To those who are celebrating their birthday today, we are awesome. 31st of January has pretty amazing celebrants. You just came across one!

Happy birthday to me!
