It’s my birthday and
boy am I thrilled!
Now I’m not one of
those people who are overly excited about birthdays, cos it seems like everyone
get’s excited for me. And I’m not even kidding. I see birthdays as a time to
reflect on how far you have come in a
year and how to get to the next point by the next year.
I've always said I’m
not doing anything and then a few days to D-Day, the fever kicks in thanks to
the people around me and then yes, I do something – party, dinner, something.
And we all have a great time. I remember
for my 21st, I told my friends I was def not doing anything, I was
going to just go out solo, have a meal and reflect. I almost got lynched by
them. Insisted it was my birthday and I called the shots.
I ended up having a
crazy fun party. And then my dad’s friends heard it was my birthday,they
insisted I had to come over, I was on a
flight next day to Warri (those free shell flights were the best!!!)It was a massive party
and I was the youngest person at my party. So from no party, I had TWO (2)
parties on my 21st! Talk about a slam dunk! When rich Shell guys throw you a party, you
can only imagine the gifts I got. Epic!
Back to the present, I
feel truly blessed. Like all the pieces of my life are falling into place. Last
year’s birthday was pretty good, although this year, I feel a whole lot
happier. I've got the love and support of my family, met so many amazing people – I truly am blessed!!
I think my birthday gift to myself is finally driving myself in Port Harcourt (yay)
I've just returned from a shoot and basically my mum arranged a mini party for me. It's been great :)
These pics just show how far I've come. More on my Instagram @countess_zibby
