11th August
August 11th, 1999: The day she was born. The day a baby girl screamed her lungs out, searching for a warmth that only those loving arms could provide. A day that marked as the beginning of her journey, with each passing year slowly diminishing the days she has left.
August 11th: A day filled with laughter shared with the best people God placed in her life. It’s been a day of celebrations and surprises, every moment of which she cherishes, and how she wishes the world would stop revolving, so she could linger in this happiness forever.
August 11th: Amid the joy, sadness has also overwhelmed her, filling her thoughts with “I want to end my life today, the world is being unfair again.” and sometimes in her darkest moment, she even thought, “Wouldn’t it be poetic if I died on the same day I was born? Maybe it would even make the Guinness World Records.”
August 11th: Neither happiness nor sadness completely engulfed her; instead, a quiet contentment settled in. She felt grateful that God had granted her another chance to live, to amend her mistakes, and to become a better person as she steps into another year.

and today, August 11th, she officially enter “the quarter-century” mark. It brings her new worries about how to navigate this age, what else she should achieve, and how to become “something” more meaningful than how she is today.
But regardless of what the future holds, she knows atleast she still had to live.
