19 years

163 Comments
Excuse my wacky and priceless face. I'm officially 19!!! :))
Today marks the beginning of my 19th year of existence. I've come to realize how blessed and happy I am to be experiencing everything that I have right now whether it may be good or bad. 

People say I've changed a lot. No, I didn't. Perhaps, I've grown. I'm still the same Shaira that everybody knows- the mad looking, snobbish tall girl you see but still the craziest and jolliest friend you'll have. I can't believe on how many crazy things I've been through already and how many worst and best decisions I've made that shaped my whole life now-- from having the ultimate nephrologist dream but turns out of being a dentist in the making, from being called fat to sexy, from hating to buy clothes and now being a fashion blogger, from hating make-ups and now wanting to have a collection, from  having one friend but now belongs in a group, from being left out to being wanted, still an achiever, from wishing to be noticed by my crush and now he did (Haha!!) and a lot more.  I know there's more to come-- more challenges and problems, more people to meet, more laughters and tears, more travels and adventures-- and I'm excited to experience everything! One thing's for sure, I love how I've become now and how I chose to direct my life. Thanks to all the people who have been part of it. Cheers to my 19 years of existence! :)

    Happy 19th! I love the midi skirt you wore, and the lighting in these photos is stunning. I think sometimes we can't see how we've changed, but others around us can. It's so odd to think about - I feel like the same person, but apparently I'm not!
