25.

The fun thing about celebrating birthdays is the fact that even if you want to play it cool, you still have that single moment when you start looking back. I don't know for sure if this applies to everyone but for me, it does. The moment I woke up on my special day, I had the feeling of nostalgia. All over again. And God! I.am.25.

25 years ago, where was I? What have changed? What did I achieve? 25 years ago, what has transpired? And just like the movies, every detail in the past came in a flash...

All the more I think about my life's timeline, the more I am able to get a clearer picture of what I am going to be and where my path is heading to. And hey, I am enjoying the ride. No matter how many times I broke my heart in the process, one thing is for sure, I am not giving up on love. Well, there's always chocolate to the rescue! It's something so precious that even if it takes to be in tears when I feel broken, it's still worth it. I am a believer and despite the many things breaking before my very eyes, it's nothing compared to the feeling of fighting for something that you believe in and for something which you knew have made you happy, once. 

It's a matter of seeing things in another perspective; into something lighter and positive. When life is a bit messy, play along... you'll figure out how to deal with it somehow, that I am sure. Life is crazy, and each one of us are fools. It might be on different things... but it's the craziness and the foolishness that we have that makes living more meaningful and fun. Life is just too short to make worries cripple our individuality and personality. It's just too amazing to even be sad about living. If life gives you lemons, squeeze them in a vodka! Drink up people! Cheers!
