It has now been 3 months since I turned 29, my last official entry in my 20s that made me aware of all there is precious in life 💙
I can remember every single birthday since I was 16 years, not kidding xD I always try to do something special on that day and there is a story behind every one of those days. But given that I'm now one step away from entering the 30s, I actually wanted to share about my 19th birthday, when I was one step away from entering the 20s.
It was March, I woke up early and my mom has gifted me a necklace which I wear to this day. We had breakfast with her and my brothers and headed over to catch a bus that would take us south to visit my grandmother in the hospital (which would actually be one of the last times I see her before she passed away later that year though of course we had no clue that was coming) and I've had such a memorable walk with her while talking about life and she was also listening to some of my very early music production and giving me feedback on what I could improve :D Our daily visit was coming to an end, and so we took another bus heading further south to the beautiful city of Vinnytsia where we arrived in the evening and had a mini house party with my aunt and ate sushi until very late, talked of many things including my upcoming trip to New York and so there was this feeling in the air that I am about to enter into a whole new chapter of my life that would change everything..
So here we are, 10 years later and that feeling is somehow back. The pieces of the puzzle are moving yet again, so much has changed, yet I can't help but feel connected to my old self this year as in a certain way - it feels conclusional to the 20s era, just as my 19th felt conclusional to my '10s' era (I guess that's how you would call it :D)
And just as previously - hyped up to make this one a highlight of them all 💪💪💪
The day of turning 29 feels as if I've experienced it all in one day and it feels as if life is smiling.. my dear Fernanda has put so much love and preparation into making this day so special and whom I love infinitely and am so grateful to have in my life..
Somehow in one day I've received gifts that are absolutely fundamental to my life at this point starting with music - with a new record of one of the most powerful bands that has inspired me infinitely - Wardruna AND then seeing them later that night at the Royal Albert Hall which was absolutely mindblowing; continuing onto video games - with a memorable piece of Legacy of Kain which as a game series proudly stands at the very roots of what makes my soundtracks what they are AND I had a chance to play little bit of Harry Potter that day too; continuing onto a day trip into the Northaw Woods which reminded me of just how much I love hiking and how many important decisions I've made in life while on hikes; continuing onto deeply sincere messages I've received from my dear friends - you make a huge part of world - lots and lots of love to you!!!; continuing onto family with a video that my dad recorded from a jet that he was flying (🤯🤯🤯) and of course to wrap it all up - lots and lots of sweets ^^^^^^
It seems it's possible to have it all in one day...?
One of the most memorable days of my life 💙💙💙
