23rd birthday (part 3)

this two pics were taken exactly a yr apart. i am blessed to have some wonderful friends and its always great to spend ur birthdays with the people who enrich you're life. i've lucked out that way for i know i have friends that love me and would be there for me no matter how i look. but seeing how i looked on my 22nd birthday was kind of like a wake up call. i have so much to grateful for this year but most importantly its given me back my self-respect and made me see that impossible is just a matter of perspective.
