Yesterday, I finished my 26th lap around the sun. I'm a year older and a lot wiser. Year 25 definitely changed me a lot and I'm loving the person I've become now. The past year was difficult and unkind to me but I'm making lemonade out of every lemon thrown. Going through difficult things make people grow wiser and I am proud and grateful to have gone through the most difficult year in my life (yet).
I didn't mean to make this post grim by talking about hardships but I've had my fair share the previous age year and I am proud of how I handled life's blues.
I spent the day with one of my friends from college. We don't see each other much often due to conflicting schedules and the 89 km between the cities we live in. We tried out this new cafe near home and she and her daughter surprised me with a cute bouquet of roses. My brother was there too. After class, he dropped by a bakeshop and bought me a chocolate cake with cute Japanese-style candles on them. The place was really calming and the food was inexpensive but still delicious. I'm not a fan of chocolate cake but seeing as my brother made an effort to get me one, I love it a whole lot more.
I am so grateful for the people I got to spend my birthday with. I'm grateful to people who sincerely typed in birthday greetings and loving messages. Thank you to everyone who made effort to make turning 26 so sweet!
