June 22, 2016

Today is my 44th birthday.

READ: I am NOT 44 years young, and it's NOT the new 34, or 24!

Why does aging sounds so bad for most people? Aren't you glad you've come this far?

It wasn't easy getting here. There were times that I got embarassed, hurt, and wished I did things differently. In my youth, there were also times that I wanted to give up. Thinking about the dreary, miserable, and the challenging parts of my journey, I am extremely glad I hang on to dear life.

The years taught me to be wiser, to be patient, to be kinder, and to love more. I also know better. I am flying high and thankful that I made this far, and especially surrounded by truly wonderful people.

Turning 44 is a gift. This is new to me. Growing old is absolutely a beautiful thing.

44 is the new 44!

I am 44 years old!

Happy birthday Miss Lili!!!! You must be a very wonderful and brave person. Two of my closest friends have the same birthday like you and I see them as two of the bravest and most wonderful people I have ever met :) God bless you always Miss Lili and more birthdays to come <3
On the issue of growing old, it doesn't really scare me. What scare me is the idea of growing old but now getting better in dealing with life. Carpe diem madam! :)

love lots,
