Two decades old today.
It's almost funny how it seems only like yesterday (alright, I exaggerate, it feels more like a few years back) when ten girls played in a tiny pond on my seventh birthday wearing bathing suits intended for the pool I convinced everyone I had.
Oddly enough, I don't remember many of the may 24ths after that.
For some, birthdays are occasions for rejoicing and celebration; the parties, the cakes, the people you're not sure you know, the bottles of euphoria that course through everybody's bloodstreams. For me, the day is day of quiet, it is a day of assessment -of history, of life, of love, of character-; a day I give to thought and songs with little else but the necessary between.
Today, I indulge in the bittersweet.
But when the dawn breaks, I will wipe my eyes clean;
Only smiles then, I promise.
[p/s. Thanks to the fantabulous 308 crew for co-sulking the shops, the supper and the surprise. And to my AWESOME brother for the life-saving gift, thank you so much! (: My heart feels the love, and it is better because of it. -hugs- ]
