So last week was my 21st birthday. It was full of laughter, close friends, family and emotions. Over the last week I have had the time of my life, but I have also reflected on a few of my favourite memories throughout my life.
My Grandad came over on the morning of my birthday and brought a present with him. On the tag I found this:
Before my Nan died, she left some money. Some money for my Grandad to buy a 21st birthday present for me. I couldn't believe she thought that far ahead, 10 years into the future and thinking, I want to buy her a present. It matches the angel wings tattooed onto my back, and the charm is now on my bracelet permanently and never leaves my side and I am so happy she thought of doing this special thing in her last days here.
So later on in the day, I went back to my natural hair colour. I had been blonde for maybe 9 months, and whilst I loved it, I couldn't be arsed with the upkeep
Then I went for a meal with my family, pigged out on steak and cake, drank too much wine and too many cocktails, then went home to bed. Woke up the next morning feeling a little rough to say the least!
Saturday night I went out with all my friends. We drank lots of cocktails, took lots of photos, laughed way too much and had the most amazing night.
Its birthdays that make you realise that it's the people closest to you and willing to make the effort that matter the most. My 21st birthday has made me realise I have the best and most thoughtful family and friends - even the ones that aren't with me today - and whilst I might not show it all the time, I am so so grateful that I have them in my life.
Love you all xxxxx
