happy birthday me (:

haha. its quiet this year. no negative or positive connotation to it i suppose. the house is quiet, everyone's asleep. makes me kinda miss the warmth, energy, laughter of 71 marchmont street. i had some of the best birthdays there (: but the celebration of one's birthday isn't about looking back pensively and longingly is it? though it is the celebration of the fact i've made it to 22 years of my life, and each and every day of that 22 years on this world is something to be thankful and grateful for.. it is also a step upwards and onwards to something else. i hesitate in saying better, simply because the moments i've had in the past are irreplaceable, precious and will always be kept carefully in the depths of my heart. but at the same time, with each year, i get a step closer to where i want to be in life, and that's something that only comes with age & experience.

so while i loathe the idea of growing old. at the same time, it is inevitable. so i'm going to embrace it and move with the flow. no more whinging about shit, work and denied opportunities. i'm going to hold on to what i want, who i love and fight my way there (:

much love to screw & angie (:

Many persons have the wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. - Helen Keller
