I Made It To 34!

Life today has brought me here, staring at the Exit 34 road sign. I have no choice but to travel this route, the powers that be laid this new road ahead of me. Im excited and of course a little bit scared, i feel as if im halfway there, but yet dont want to get any closer to the end...
(if theres an end)

Most people celebrate their life on that special day every year. I celebrate my life every day, even though at times i look to the sky and ask "why?....why me?"

Im a survivor, a survivalist... ive indured pain and suffering on behalf of myself as well as others i care about or havent even met.

Im a virgo, a sensitive human being with the most upmost respect for any kind of life, be it a flower, spider or even a mouse.

Time of course as ive learnt over my 34 years on this earth, is just a figment of imagination. So for those who say life is to short, you are wrong, its just perceived it that way in our own mind. So am i really 34 then? ?

Im one to speak, but in turning the age of 34! Ive learnt some valuable lessons and one very important one...dont take your life for granted, enjoy all the little things around you, because they do count!

So in being the fact i turned 34, here is my list of the 34 things im grateful for in life:
