My 29th birthday
Today is my 29th birthday!
I am spending my birthday at this cute little coffee shop called Our Little Cafe. I ordered this amazing strawberry matcha latte, and I'm enjoying it by the window. All I can see are plants, since the cafe is also where the Shopleaf Plant Studio is located. It's quite chilly, I wish I had brought my jacket, but I think I can manage. It's quiet in the room I am in, but outside I can hear the noise from the cars passing by. I have the time and energy to catch up on some work. I am having a blast. Life is calm. Life is good!
The first thing I did today was go to the laundromat. I think I haven't mentioned it here, but I really love fresh, warm clothes. Then, I went home, whipped up some quick breakfast and got on a call with my boyfriend, Chev. I wish I could celebrate with him but I guess we can do that when I go home soon! I also wanted to celebrate with my family, but since I am still miles away, I ordered the Hey! Pistachio Cake from Sharmaine's (as my birthday cake), and had it delivered at home. My brother said it was so good and they enjoyed it, so that made me happy!
I got off social media deleted all the apps last night, including Messenger. It's nothing serious, I just wanted to spend my day with a clear mind alone. For the past months, I felt like I was always physically, mentally, and emotionally engaged. I think one slow day of only thinking about myself and what makes me happy is warranted. I am so happy I got to do it today!
This is my last year of being in my 20s. I know, it's not really a big deal; in the grand scheme of things, age is really just a number. But somehow, I am looking forward to the coming year. I feel like my experiences in just the last year alone really changed my mindset about life and career. I would say I am more determined and disciplined, although I acknowledge that I can stillimprove.
I am halfway through my strawberry matcha latte. Did I mention it was good? I am having a blast. Life is calm. Life is good. <3
