The Truth About Birthdays

The Truth about birthdays:

1. They are never as fantastic as portrayed, you never spend them amazingly happy - instead its a day spent reflecting.
2. Most of the day is spent being fake happy just because well "it's your birthday"
3. No matter how much you plan your birthday things never happen the way you want them to,  so it's just easier not to plan it at all and do everything spontaneously (realistic expectations)
4. Your own birthday cake is never really as delicious as other peoples
5. Trying to skip your birthday and not telling people never really works out

In the end though - Birthdays always turn out to be somewhat ok just because it's your "special" day.

So - Happy Birthday to Me! 

A note on this years birthday: I spent it will my closest friends, in the best way possible. It was unplanned, it just happened, and my birthday celebrations went on for a few days. It was the best birthday yet even though it was really nothing extravagant or over the top. A great start to a year of my life I have been dreading.  

Hopes, Dreams & Cherry Stems

Ever since I lost that list I have been thinking about some stuff I want to accomplish in the next years.

Things I want to accomplish - 5 year goals:

[] Get my own place - soon hopefully

[x] Do work I am passionate about and proud of

[x] Learn at least 3 new things a day (so far so good)

[] Travel to at least 5 other countries, and see some of Canada ( I live here how is it possible I have seen so little of it!?)

[] Learn to remain in touch with my emotional needs and physical as well - 4 hours of sleep a night and 1 meal a day does not cut it!

[] Skydive

[] Read as many of the well known Classic books as possible

[] Remain open minded about things

[] Write a play - just a single play, not sure what about but something

[] Finish the documentary film - that seems to be a lifelong project right now

[x] Tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue - I have a tongue ring too which makes it a bit harder to do then without one.

[] Make a difference in someone's life

[] Live and love

A simple and very cliche but sometimes one can not ask for more
