Cake and candles

You know how some people refuse to reveal their age, and insist that they are always 21?

I can finally understand why now.

There comes a time in our lives when we feel that we want to put a brake on the bullet train that is Life.
There comes a time when we feel that time, is never enough.
That we want to make the most of our lives, but we are not sure where to start.

Is this what people call a mid-life crisis?

But I'm nowhere near that yet.

For the past few years, my birthday has felt the same as the ones before. Carefree and young, with little to ask for, not much more to hope for.

But today, as I march into my 31st birthday, I feel liberated, and insanely grateful. For the first time in my life, my path is not set, and the possibilities are endless. It is rather unsettling, but also exciting at the same time.

And I have my loving husband and beautiful daughter by my side, embarking on this journey together. Hand- in- hand.

And my family and friends who have tirelessly supported me all these years.

What more can I ask for? =)
