Birthday Celebrations

I've never fully grasped as to why people celebrate getting old. I'd much rather celebrate the days I feel younger or resemble my childhood self more than the adult I am. I know that growing up is essential and unavoidable, but keeping the child inside you alive is equally important and necessary. I've had some amazing and some not-so-amazing birthdays. From house parties, to private members club celebrations, school friends to university and now birthday getaways; every and each one has been special but the ones I celebrate in a new city are the ones I remember the most. At 23 I promised myself that I would always celebrate my future birthday's in a different/new city every year. It started with London, Northern Ireland and the latest - Isle of Wight.
This year, my friends surprised me with the location and although it was a week before my actual birthday, I couldn't have asked for more this year. Here are some snippets from our little Island weekend celebrations :)
