I’m 27…

Yesterday was my bday. and I had a BBQ party on Saturday night. I have to admit being a bit daft for putting my event on facebook but not inviting anyone. Maybe that’s why many, many people didn’t turn up. But the truth is, I couldn't ask for a better birthday party. Sarah and Jon were amazing! Brian was DJing all night… I danced, ate, drank and  had so much fun. I did tell some people anyway. But of course, they already had “plans” . So what could I do but enjoy the moment? After this I’ve learned not to get distracted on my plans by “real life. A lot of people showed up, and of everyone there, the only friend from years ago was Rolen, and I don’t see him very often. Everyone else, I met after this June. 

It was  a strange feeling…coming to a new cycle, new beginning, with new people around me. Some of you will always be in heart, some of you may not…

And it kind of hurts, but that’s the way it goes.

So there I was, in my room, having a moment of solitude… looking up, looking down, when the clock turned 12. It was officially my birthday. And I could feel the stress outside, everyone getting quiet, getting ready to sing me happy birthday. 

I got depressed for a moment. Maybe blaming myself why some people didn’t show up. And suddenly, this guy that I don’t even know says to me: “Come on babes, it’s your birthday! Everyone is waiting.” It took me a few seconds to come back to reality. I realised how blessed I am. So I went outside with a big smile on my face, thinking what I told Sarah’s friend the night before….

“Erase the old, Embrace the new…Power!”

And that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I toast for Love, Life and Second Chances.
