It was on purpose that i chose the date of departure to be on my birthday, my 21st. It was not a hasty decision. It was something i had always wanted to do. I am not somebody who yearns for presents, to have a big bang celebration, or to organize a gathering to meet my friends. I cherish all the times i have spent with my friends and family, and do not need a special occasion to ascertain this fact. I also understand not everyone wants to attend an invited 21st Birthday Party as well. Be it the burden of buying an extravagant gift; the burdensome fact of matching the party's theme; or simply the fact where you aren't close enough to the Birthday Boy/Girl.
Even though i am not a person who demands a party, i am more than willing to attend the parties whom i safely call 'good friends'. These are the people whom i believe are true friends, where we treat each other with respect and concern. There are just too many 'Hi-Bye' friends, and people who are just a passing phase in your life. It is important to know who are these true friends that you know will accompany you till old. These friends will be the ones who genuinely wish you the best in whatever you do, and you know you will definitely wish the same for him/her as well.
I know who are the friends that sincerely wished me and hope for the best. I know that they understand me as well. I am glad i am blessed with many friends that i can proudly call soul-mates.
I know that i will not compromise our friendships just because i did not host a 21st Birthday Party. Frankly, i am happy that i took this opportunity to go on a self-discovering, exciting, amazing and rewarding Backpacking Adventure.
Ps: I do, and will always love surprises!
