back from my short respite, i am feeling so up, up, up!!! there is nothing but a great weekend to rev up your week...
november 1, your dear goddess celebrated her birthday with her beloved and his relatives... it was a happy event. we went swimming of course. ^_^ this is one of the few truly happy birthdays that i had. when i was a kid i absolutely hated my birthday. don't ask me why. my birthday is on november 1. i think that fact explains it all.
i am now officially 23.
funny but i feel a lot older than that. i feel like i've been thru so much already. i never thought that i would reach this age. i never thought i'd have a job, or be able to actually live by myself and survive. it didn't occur to me that i'd be in a relationship, that i'd be able to handle it, that i'd be fighting for it, compromising for it... i didn't know i'd fall in love.
looking back, i could only feel nostalgia and gratitude for the One Up There who never gives up on me and keeps on sending me gifts. whether it's my birthday or not.
