It's my birthday tomorrow....!

It's been a crazy year! And I am so RELIEVED to have made it through from 26 to 27 years of age. It's been a learning curve, a life lesson and all those cliches.

Here's some interesting stuff I've learned this birthday year.

1) The power of optimism.

2) Sexy comes in many different guises.

3) Your friends and family really are the roots of happiness.

4) It's the small things
that make the biggest differences.

5) Life is unpredictable; amazing and terrifying in equal measures.

6) The highs are higher when the lows are lower.

7) Being alone is not too bad.

8) Empathy and patience.

9) You don't need to be really thin and perfect to fall in love and have someone love you back.

AND FINALLY...

10) Don't stand near BBQs.
