A Day away, An Year closer..



Yes, I'm just a day away from my 23rd Birthday!
I'm not as excited as i used to be.. instead I'm retrospective.


Things I was to achieve before turning 23, things that I didn't...




I didn't find the dream job I had in my head.




I didn't get to travel to the places I wanted to go.




I didn't find the one 'true' love of my life.






I didn't find my 'determined, sensible and mature' self.









But the only thing I'm glad I didn't find is ...


REGRET!






When I look back to my small, small life of 23yrs... I see happiness, love, friends, family, accomplishments... small and big..... and most importantly, HOPE (tonnes of it!).






I may be walking the fine line between cheesy and overly-emotional but well, thats just how I feel a day before my BIG 23.




I hope to find all the great things I set out to find and I HOPE my life is just as perfectly happy as it is now. I wish for strength and motivation to realise my dreams, I wish for love, happiness and contentment, I wish for travels across the seven seas and I wish for.......
......so much more!




Thanks to everyone who reads this! Thanks for keeping me motivated.






Much Love,

always look at the bright side of life, it's much more healthier.

Maybe you'll do all the things you've always wanted to do by the time you're 30. It's always good anyway :D

cheers.

Hey -- Happy belated birthday. You'll find all of those things. But probably not the exact way you dreamed them to be or in the exact time in which you desire them.
