The moments in my 53rd years of life.

As I get older in life  I  start to grasp how much precious life is how much I appreciate all the little things, and people around me. Every year around my birthday I would feel depressed, and sad,  and on my birthday I  would always cry and there are many reasons why I would cry, just childhood things that bothers me, things that never get resolved. But on December 11th 2021 I decided to not let anything from my past or present that doesn't  serve a true purpose  or even worthwhile, or that i don't have an answer to bring me down or make me cry. So I decide to stay positive not cry enjoy my day and there were so much positives that  came from doing so.  I saw a shift in changing my thinking,  everyone who wish me happy birthday  who I did not expect to was a result of me changing my thought process, and my outlook. I  refused to be  sad on a day I  should be celebrating life, my life! And that made a whole lot of difference. I  had so many people from different walks of life that I have met some I haven't met in person, some who I know, they are family, they are friends, they are classmates,  they're just people that I met at the grocery store,  driving uber, from past relationships, and for them to take the time out of their day to wish me a happy birthday it means so much to me, even  more than a year ago. I appreciate every last one of those individuals and from here on out that's how I want to live my life to appreciate every moment. Every single moment I have in my life I want to take a step back, reflect on the moments of my life and enjoy  those moments because they mean so much, and they are all I  have,  and all I  need. I  will always cherish my  moments in life.
