Photo #276
I came across this little gem while thumbing through my iPhoto just now as I get ready to settle into my bed to read and fall asleep. This was my 22nd birthday and my sister and I were diving into my delicious chocolate cake where we proceeded to eat it straight out of the box with one fork between us both. The only way to eat your birthday cake if you ask me. The knife we were using however looks rather daunting and somewhat dangerous in the hands of two young ladies laughing and barely paying attention. But it was so worth it and made my birthday that much more enjoyable. Coming across photos and other little remnants like these makes me miss home and NY but be still be at peace with where I am. It reminds me that I have some of the most outstanding people back where I come supporting me and loving me from a distance. And that allows me to better myself and keep going to achieve all the things I know I will. It also makes me appreciate all those who chose to step out of my life as a learning experience and stepping stone to make me stronger and give me understanding. Moments of joy, like the one in today's picture, along with the moments of sadness I've endured in the last few transitioning months have offered me the realization of this new chapter in my life. It is a new beginning and it is a wild ride that's hard, yet oh so amazing all at the same time.
