"The most important thing in your life is family. There are days you love them, and others you don't. But in the end, they're the people you always come home to. Sometimes it's the family your born into, and sometimes it's the one you make for yourself."
I don't think I could begin this with a better quote.
Today --okay, it's 12:47--yesterday was my 20th birthday. And to be honest, it was one of the best I can remember. I knew it would be good when the whole DZ house called to sing to me at midnight. I woke up to countless facebook notifications that continued throughout the entire day. Although classes seemed to drag on from my lack of sleep the night before, knowing I was going to celebrate my birthday. I had an amazing night with my family and my best friend in the whole world; full of laughs, stories, and good food--the essentials for any Italian famiglia.
After dinner it was off to the DZ house I went to see my lovely sisters, and was surprised by cupcakes and candles. The rest of the night was spent hanging out with them and laughing until my stomach hurt.
So what does this all add up to?
Well, today made me realize how lucky I am to have such amazing people in my life. I love Kent, I love family, I love my friends.
It wasn't about the gifts or the hype. Although I was in love with all of them: a great shirt, The Last Song, and Glee! :D:D
I'm finally content with where I am in my life. It was the perfect passage to a new decade in my life. Although I know that this realization did not just come from merely turning a number, I do believe that this is the perfect time to let go of the insecurities of my past, and face the world head on.
And I would never, ever have the confidence to do this if it wasn't for my family and friends.<3
Hey, 20s. :)
La vita bella.
Love, peace, and hair grease. <3
