an observation of the 27th year...
born in the year of the dragon, she exists to be flamboyant and exceptional. like the mythic, fiery dragon, she loves to confront the enemy in battle, leaving the earth behind burnt to a crisp, and hearts inflamed along the path.
the 26th year has proven to be the toughest and the most exciting time of all.
1. all my innocence was lost - life, work and love crossed my path.
2. felt so blessed to be around such wonderful people who in times i often take for granted.
3. i've learned the difference betweeen love, lust and friendship.
4. i found myself surround by lots of people.. yet still felt alone at times.
5. i learned to be patient, cool and non-chalant.
6. i laughed and smiled a lot.. but at the same time, i can count the times i cried.
7. i have met amazing men who has contributed to my growth... men who i loved, men who i've lusted over.. and men who has made my jaw dropped and left me in awe.
