27

"Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live."~ Unknown

How does it feel to be 27? It feels ok, and unfortunately it doesn't feel too special. Probably beacuse of the phase in life where i currently find myself in. But there are exciting times ahead.

Anyway, I came to Athens to celebrate and felt fine to be among a few of the people i love. Thank you guys for the celebration, and thank everyone who called and e-mailed :)
