Life is when you start to live: Getting wiser

I had birthday yesterday. Wonderful day free from work and without stress, wrong this is the day that you HAVE to do something. You want it to be special, not like all the other days, you want do something new, see something new, since this of all days is your birthday, god damn it. Also you can find stressful that you are getting older, thinking what did I do last birthday, have you learned something, since you are supposed to get older and wiser. In my case, I find it pretty scary that 19 year-old-girls can be as much known with life as I am. I met during my summer work, girl who was around 19 and she was really wise girl, knew some stuff better than I did and had been working at least five different jobs. That makes me wonder, what did I do before 19, that I couldn't be so wise that this girl was.

As years go by, I have become more calm but not really stress free. I can think stuff clearly and not just sit with it and wonder what should I do. I have learnt to speak out and ask help. One of the greatest sources of asking help is friends, of course there is professional people for everything, but friends are what I think everyone needs to get through this life. I have also become more grateful of my friends. When you move a a lot from country to country like I have done, the most amazing thing is to get to know wonderful personalities and people but also hold on to the old ones!

Yesterday I read Facebook birthday messages written to me from all over the world and it really hit me that these are the people whom I have collected during my journey of life. I had nice day otherwise too, my boyfriend took me to eat at Italian restaurant, ordered some champagne while I was in the restrooms and wanted me to feel like a princess. Afterwards we saw a theatre play 'Fanny and Aleksander' at the National Theatre of Oslo, which meant so much to me since I am such a drama person :D Maybe the best present though was when he ha written me his home made poem, just to me! Now this is getting cheesy so I'll let the pictures speak and at the end, that heart is for all of you, whom I heart so dearly!
Not so much wiser but at least older!
