They say that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. I think I must have turned out pretty alright since I'm surrounded by so many wonderful individuals. :')
All I wished for fervently on my 24th was for my loved ones to be safe and happy. A's blackout gave me a major scare two weeks before my birthday and the last time I felt the same heart-gripping fear was when I watched my mum have her stroke.
I have told myself countlessly but I can never tell myself enough - appreciate and be so damn thankful for what I have.
I did not expect to have so many people celebrating my 24th and spoiling me with yummy food and making me blow out my candles 6 times this year (I should be 30 now right? Haha), but more importantly, spending quality time with me - that I am just feeling kinda overwhelmed now.
It is ok that I am possibly 10kg heavier than I used to be 2 years ago and it is ok that I am now nearly hitting a quarter of a century. Age and weight is just a number but being loved is immeasurable and I don't know what I did to deserve what I have now, but I am infinitely blessed.
Thank you to all the lovely ones in my life who made turning 24 one of the best periods in my life.
