My birthday had past just a few days ago. Another year gone by filled with love, laughter, lessons, and memorable experiences. It’s funny how as you get older your view on birthdays change. Being a child I couldn't wait for every birthday, for the presents, the fun, and just the sheer fact that I would be another year older excited me. As an adult, although I still consider myself pretty young, I dread the fact that I am getting older. While still enjoyable, birthdays now seem to bring me a time of reflection. Reflection on what I have done the past year, if I've reached my goals for that year of life or if I hadn't. Am I where I thought I'd be at this point in my life? Where am I going to be next year? in 5 years? in 10 years? Am I on the right path? It has been an eventful year for me. Although I may have my bitchy, whinny, rants in my head, I must say, I am truly fortunate with the life I have. It is not picture perfect but whose is? I love my family with all its flaws. I am blessed with an adoring bf that makes me laugh every single day and loves me unconditionally. I have great people surrounding me always. I have a decent house and modest lifestyle. And although I may not have accomplished everything I have hoped for yet, I am truly truly blessed. Here’s to another year of memories and self-improvement. One can only do so much but I try to always tell myself learn from past mistakes, set my future goals high but attainable, and live for the moment.
