When your heart is open, everything is possible. Today is my birthday, and after terrible past years and traumatic birthdays experiences, I promised myself to be kind to the world whatever the world wants to give to me. So today I was confident no one would really remember my birthday besides FB birthdays, neither my family, but I was okay; honestly, my mind and soul were prepared and started with this small cake and playing on youtube some happy birthday songs alone at home. I was confident this would be the best part of my day. Oh boy, I was wrong... Absurdly wrong! After having a great class with my brand-new students, my heart literally stopped. I couldn't believe what my eyes were seeing. The entire church prepared, not a small, but a HUGE party, with heart cake, pizzas, tteobokki, presents, and confetti 🎉... 20 people celebrating my birthday was incredible. I can't describe the feeling to embrace people who barely know me. It was way above and beyond my expectations. Even right now, writing and looking at the photos is still undeniably the best birthday I have had in so long time! I swear no one, even my own blood, did so much like them. I cried, and I'm still crying and sobbing with the size of the generosity and love I received from people. It's God saying all my efforts are worth it, and the good I do always come back. But this is not all... they gave me this lovely happy birthday hairband. They asked: are you going with this hairband on the train? And guess what? I went all my way back home with it, everyone looking. And Im .....Feeling fabulous!!! But what I didn't expect was a super friendly Japanese lady started talking with me exactly because of the hair band, saying literally to not care how other Japanese people judge me. And to my surprise, she speaks French and English (ngl my French is terrible), but this leads me to more than an hour of conversation and more +1 friend. Yes, thank you for making my birthday the best I can even imagine.
