Maria Bakalova Instagram – It took me a little longer to process the last couple of weeks! Wow. I’m 27 years old now. On the day of my birthday on a random radio station this song started playing… I remember listening to it over and over and over again while I was little and dreaming that one day, if I really “dedicate myself” I’ll find my people and my place! .. Now, hearing it again I can wholeheartedly smile with nostalgia and appreciation of everyone and everything that I have in my life! Celebrating the most special day of my life surrounded by my most special people in the most special place has been all I’ve ever wanted! I only wish my mom and dad were here but.. next year maybe this dream of mine will be fulfilled as well! I want to say that I’m really really thankful to the people I truly consider family @highheelprncess and @cadehudson22 for hosting this magical day and evening! You guys are the reason that now I can name the city of Los Angeles – my HOME ♥️Thank you to the universe that I found my brother and sister in LA in the faces of @pgulley and @nicisraelicool and last but not least to be able to share this memory with my love @valerigrigorovjr._ ! I love love love you my friends ♥️ I couldn’t be more grateful to start this new chapter of my life with all of you!
