Blow The Candles

Yesterday was my birthday. I'm grateful that I'm still here, breathing happily in this world.

Yes, I'm now officially 23. It's just a mere age.

But I do know, I'm getting older and wiser as opposed to years before.

I've seen and experienced a lot of things throughout these 23 lovely years.

I've tasted the sweetness of a victory's breath of my own effort to survive, to achieve my own dreams. Yet, I still have a lot of things to do to attain the life I dream to have. ;)

I'm blessed with everything that Allah had given me, and I'm still praying, offering my hand, my heart to accept His ceaseless blessing, I'm still praying to ask for His help and guidance to lead me into a meaningful life.

Infinite thanks to my parents as well, in times they had to bear with my defiant, obstinate acts. They had to bear the sheer force of me, whining about my life. But never did once they give up on me, never did once they leave me hanging without any guidance. Without them, I'm a nobody. They taught me well. I love them to death and I can't imagine myself being in the right state of mind without them. Therefore, I'm grateful to still have them in my life. ;)

To all my friends, I'm thankful to get the chance of being friends with all of you. And this is for years to come.

P/s: Many thanks for the thoughtful wishes. ;) I got 2 lovely cakes. Thanks to my parents.

"Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library." — Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)
