Haroo 22!!!



I was sitting on my wooden couch, staring outside the window, looking for nothing feeling the serene mood of solidarity. At exactly 12:30 in the morning of July 27, the rain suddenly poured from the heaven.

I listen closely to the gentle drop of the rain, a drop that it was like as if bountiful of blessings were showering on me. The breeze of the wind suddenly felt so comforting that it touches my cheeks and started to tickle my neck until it hugged my whole body. I slowly closed my eyes and started to breathe deeply smelling the fresh aroma of the rain from the grass. I started to relax my mind then I reach on my matches to start a fire and lit a candle so it could light my rectangular room.

“Yes, I am now 22”. I felt a moment of prosperity, solidarity and completeness as I celebrated my birthday alone. For 30 minutes, I was just sitting, staring blankly from nowhere, I didn’t uttered any words, the only noise was my pulse, the thumping sound of my heart and the air that I breathe. I felt blessed for the miracle of another year that our creator gave me – another exciting year.

Another year of challenges, risk, joy or happiness, pain and heartaches, another year of meeting new and spontaneous friends, another year of new environment, another year of new love life, of new job, new boss and co-workers – definitely a lot better from my previous years.

I can see myself as I grow older that I am learning to savor on things that surrounds me, learning every mistakes and learning how to smile during rainy days. What I am now, I owed it from my past, and I am very thankful regardless of the pain, heartaches, and disappointment. – I really owed it to my past, because of them I started to realize what I want in life, to the point of leaving everything behind even in a very painful manner, just to follow my life path.

From such overwhelming joy up to the lowest point of emptiness, I hugged it during my 21st years and I am always ready to hug another adventure. I thank God for letting me to experienced such mix-emotions – sugar, salty and spice.
My past is the reason why I am strong and fighting for success, I owe it, so thanks for everything.


Then I blew the candle…

“Happy ‘B’ pots”

P.S. Thanks to all my friends who didn’t forget to greet me on my special day, and to all those people I didn’t expected yet they remembered. Cheers for good and successful life!

Xoxo,

Fabulous =)
