Happy Birthday to Me -28th Edition

Okay, guys, it’s that time of the year. The 28th year that I have rotated on Earth’s orbit around the sun. Woo, I feel dizzy. I have never really been one for big birthday parties and the older I get, the less I do.

For this birthday post, I wanted to do something different. Instead of writing about 28 things I have learned in these 28 years, I am going to write about 27 things that I loved during my 27th year.
