Turning 25

My 25th birthday has been the 3rd one in a row I spend abroad, and the 4th I spend abroad in general... after celebrating my 23s in Austria, my 24s in Brazil, now Rotterdam was the host of one of the coolest birthdays ever. Thanks Team.


AI office

Morning welcoming in the office was lots of fun ... I personally forget a lot about birthdays, even of people I really care about, that is why since days before I was reminding everyone about it - I wanted to have a special day - period! And it was, starting with this "nice handmade poster" :) hanging in front of my desk in the office. Thanks Sveta, dear roomy, for this as for the flowers.

When it comes about presents (sure I love them...) there was again a tie between team, Dey's present, and my boyfriend 's one ... the team gave a totally practical suitcase, exactly what I need for the next round of country visits... Dey, well, you know what you did and I swear I will never get such a present ever again, and Javisent flowers (tullips, I never had them before!), he will never stop surprising me I guess ...






As kind of after party ... the "wig show" started ... for those who wanna make fun of some of the most serious ever AI members, here you go ... NOTICE, the second one in the upper row is Romas!







Besides all this funkyness, being able to reach 25 years is a blessing, and an invitation of life to keep walking, keep excelling in all what I do and keep trusting my own decisions and feelings with an incredible presistence - this is exactly how I feel... Not old, but with a sense of serenity around what I can do that I never felt before. Not a child anymore, but still very inocent deep inside my heart and feeling actually proud of it. Independence does not relate at all to your age, but maybe by chance, with the start of my 25, I feel that so many decisions I wanted to take before are finally so close to be taken. Impetus, that's what I feel. I guess this is one of the greatest feelings you can ever experience in life. .. may my 25th year be the year of impetus ...
