Life In a Notebook

Today, it’s not going to be anything about self-care, self-help, motivation, and whatever I generally write about.
Today, I am just going to write as a friend of yours whose heart is full of love.

Yesterday was my 20th birthday (mandatory, damn my teenage is over! Comment) , I love the concept of birthdays and I am one of those who try to celebrate them religiously and have always done it this way.
A month before my birthday, I started hyping up not only myself, but everyone around me, time flew fast, and suddenly only a week was left and the excitement turned into self-analysis. What all I have to do in life, what I haven’t done, some bad past birthday experiences, whether something unwanted will happen, and whatsoever negative feelings I could get, but somehow I ignored all those feelings and kept myself distracted.

This time I wanted to do something small like a get-together and lunch with all my friends but it wasn’t finalized till the end because of some other factors. Till 24th March, I was drowning in work and did not even realize when the clock struck midnight.

The D – Day was here! and oh my, how my phone was flooded with wishes throughout the day.

Only if I could write, tell or communicate in any other way the emotions I felt while reading all the wishes, watching all the stories, and videos that everyone had made for me, only if I could tell how they made me feel.
My subtle day, turned out to be one of the craziest and wildest days and I am in awe.

This time while blowing out the candles, I did not wish for anything and what should I even wish for?
While looking at all those happy and smiling faces around me I realised, I already have everything with me.
I am the luckiest girl.


Thank you to my family, who is my whole universe, whatever I am today or will be in the future is and will be because of you.

My sweetest and beautiful friends came and stayed (missed important college and coaching classes) with such thoughtful gifts, notes, and cards. Only if words could describe what my heart felt. My other family.

Lastly, my virtual family, and whoever took out the time to wish me, I am so grateful for you all.


Each one of you, whoever is reading this, makes a difference in my life every day, a beautiful difference, and I genuinely hope it continues to be this way till the end of time.

I just wish I could make a difference in everyone’s life as well, and try to make them feel special, every single day of my existence. I hope I become wiser and even more kind because there is no better feeling than love, there is no better feeling than pure happiness.


Cheers to:
20 years of committing mistakes and learning from them.
20 years of hard work.
20 years of pushing my limits.
20 years of trying to be helpful.
20 years of dreaming.
20 years of thankfulness.
20 years of feeling loved.

20 years of trying to be a better person everyday.
20 years of the person I am today.
I would not trade it for anything in this world.

Hope your days are as sweet as the cakes I have been eating since yesterday and oh, even now while editing.

From,
A heart full of gratitude.
Love and only love.
