It was my birthday. It was so crowded that some of us were standing. There was plenty of food and also a big chocolate cake that I love very much. It was the perfect cake for an occasion like this, celebrating something special.
As I wrote, it was one of my most special days. I like Italian culture and their big dinners with long tables. This felt like one of them. As I was walking, I felt a flower in my hair—the blue one. Blue is my favorite color and I especially love it more than others. It is very delicate but still likes to share its presence with us. It is just like nature itself—delicate and powerful at the same time. It makes us feel better but also has its boundaries. That is why I remember feeling that flower and leaving it there. It is the souvenir from my birthday celebration. It is my way of remembering how beautiful the day was.
I am sitting at the same table while writing this post and I can still see my happy self, smiling near the door. I know it may sound too romantic, but being with loved ones is one of the greatest treasures. It is indeed one of the most valuable signs of living a happy life. Our memories shape and define us. I, Serra, feel very happy and thankful. Life is a journey, and being with loved ones helps us move forward more easily.
