QUEIN'S BIRTHDAY

I will not use this space to talk about what I did because it is quite long to explain and it is not why I am writing this blog but I must say that I did enjoy my birthday. It could have been MUCH better but I did enjoy myself, next week = PART TWO. I just wanted to reflect on the importance and the meaning of a "birthday" the definition of a birthday according to google is "The annual anniversary of the day on which a person was born". I had a LONG chat with my mother about life and it just really made me think about things from a different perspective. I knew this anyway, but family will always be there for you, your mother your father and your siblings. I am the only girl in my family I have no older sisters, when I am sick the first person I will run to is my mother, when I have made an achievement the first person I will run to is my mother and so on, (I am sure you get the gist). When I was younger, I wasn't a problem child but I did trouble my mother and I must admit I tried my best to get "at her".  My mother is of a strong personality and mind (something like a hot head) and I get that from her, so as you can imagine we did have a few collisions but our "talk" smoothed everything out, my mistakes, things I had done in the past and my CHILDISH-NESS. I am proud to say that I am a mature young woman now (NOT JUST BECAUSE IT IS MY BIRTHDAY) but my ways, my mind-state, the way that I view certain things including my relationship with my mother have truely changed. I just want to thank my parents and god for bringing me into this world, taking care of me and instilling their morals and values upon me even though I obviously do think differently on different aspects and subjectsa as I am my own person. Some individuals, pass away before they even reach the age of 5, some live but go through soo much difficulty and experience a range of various things that one should not experience. But I am glad that I have lived for as long as I have lived, I am also glad that I have good health, everything that I need, a family, a place to lay my head at night, food to eat and so on. I think that we all take things fore-granted but I guess sometimes you just have to sit down, reflect and re-evaluate on life. I am now at the point where I need to start finding things out for myself, exploring and so on, I am grateful for what I have and I really can't wait to see what the man upstairs has in store for me. And for all those that I would have loved to have celebrated my birthday with or got a fone call from, just know that I love you and I am no longer angry that you left, I know that you are still here in spirit and you will be alive in my heart forever, my love for you will not fade and I will hold on to the memories that we shared until we meet again :) (everything happens for a reason)..Thanks for reading my blog people..x Quein
