Edit: my birthday was on the 23rd haha. But thanks for the bday wishes, I had a pretty good bday :)
Sooo I turn 23 today! It's apparently called my Golden Year since the age I'm turning is the same number as my birthday.
I just wanted to reflect a bit and open your minds a little about the greatest gift we can ever have. The gift of time.
24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year. It went by so fast. I remember New Years 2016 like it was yesterday and we're already almost halfway 2017. Time flies. Or maybe I'm just getting older?
I'm grateful to have lived another year. So many things could've gone wrong that would've prevented me from seeing this day. I could've been in a car accident. I could've eaten something bad and died from sickness. I could've been shot. Life is very uncertain and you really don't know what's gonna happen even a minute from now. So it's a blessing to have gotten through the year in one piece and in good health.
And this goes for everyone really. I know birthdays may be just about the gifts for you guys. Some of you may not even celebrate your birthday or care about it. But consider this: the time that has been given to you, cherish it like a precious gift and use it wisely.
Happy birthday to me 🎂

I'm late to the party. Well uh...ya see, life is a precious gift. That is until the little kid at your party takes the gift and rips it to shreds. Didn't you hate that one kid? See, that kid probably never had a birthday, meaning he never had a life. Life was in the box you just had, and it was ripped to shreds. What does this mean to you now? It means that your life was stolen, and you need it back. You don't have to be nice about it either. You can take it by force. So that's what you do. Little Jimmy went home crying afterwards, but you had your life back. And that's how I met George Lopez.[spoiler]Happeh Late Burthdae[/spoiler]
