Another Interesting Year On Earth!
Look Ma, I made it!
I'm officially 34 and one week...
Last week on Wednesday (June 16th) I celebrated my birthday... I say celebrated but there wasn't a party or anything like that.
I've never been one to throw parties on my birthday. When I was a kid the question was always, a (big) present or a party hahaha and my answer was always a present!
It's not that I'm greedy or that I don't like having people over. That's not it. But a party on your birthday always comes with more responsibilities than you're supposed to have when it's "your day". You're supposed to relax, eat, drink, enjoy as opposed to.... Making sure everyone else is having a good time, everyone else has eaten, making sure you talk to everybody or everybody gets along with each other....
Just saying, we can do all that when it's not my birthday 😀😀😀.
So in true Gyanno fashion, I made sure I enjoyed it my way.. And I made sure to have Cake and Steak 🤣.
I went to lunch with my dad, nothing fancy just the two of us like we often do.
I picked up the carrot cake I order the day before (even did some grocery shopping) and at night I went out for a steak dinner and some drinks...
Perfect!
So about the cake... It turns out it's kind of a tradition to give a piece of cake to your friend and family. I personally don't see the fuss but I've learned it over the years and it is much appreciated.
It's like your part of a person's birthday through the cake.
So I made sure to get a large one and went to my friends and family to drop off their piece.
My aunt was happy so I know I did something right!
The cutting process was serious business!
Of course being the overthinker that I am...
I took a moment to first of all be grateful that I'm healthy! That I have a roof over my head, food, a job.. And ofcourse friends and family around me.
Second I made a quick analysis of how I've experienced this year (we all know it was a crazy one) and how far I am in terms of my goals.
I also had a quick talk with myself! It's going to sound crazy but I just literally talked to myself about the things I need to improve... Me in the mirror, looking at me, setting the tone for the year 😀😀😀.
That's it for my today... I've waited long enough to share it with you but I felt it was important to post on HIVE too...
Cheers
Many happy returns and many more happy birthdays. The Husband doesn't do fuss, either. His birthday is in a couple of weeks, and it's a milestone one. We shall see what happens.
Glad you had a happy day.

Thank you thank you!
Ask the husband what he wants, maybe he also says something like cake and steak 🤣
Steak, definitely. Now we are back in lockdown, it has to be home cooking. Cake? Perhaps a dessert instead ..
Thank you @jizzyjoe
