23.

22+1. With a blink of the eye, 23 years have past me by. Without realizing, my life has sped past me just like a bullet train. Just like that. It seems like yesterday.

I''ve always wonder how it feels like to be 23. Does that mean i'm a little wiser now? Or perhaps a little mature? 23, you're neither here nor there. you're caught in the middle.

At 23, i'm contented and loved. Not that i wasn't loved for the other years but this year, it's extra special. I have to say you peeps, yes, you, have add frills to my years. Thank you for all the advance wishes. Probably you were more excited than I am! Nonetheless, i'm touched. Really. I was blessed to have eaten so many dinners and cakes this year! argh, now you know where i got those extra pounds.

Despite that, i'm more than blessed!

I'm thankful for those 23 years of joy, laughter, hurt, pain, and tears.

What I am today is by YOUR grace.

My life is surrounded with love, with people like you:-
