It's a birth day.

I have to admit, I'm really touched.

I really do feel that there are more and more of you, my loyal supporters, around the world. The latest congratulation video is incredible, you are united. Like one BIG family. Spread around the Globe.
And, to me, you indeed are a family.

We take part in each other's journey. You follow mine, I do exist in yours. And that is a cycle. The incredible living cycle... where distance doesn't matter, where countries don't matter, where nothing really matters but our “existence”. And frankly saying - today, in some ways, is another ordinary day for me. I never celebrate birthdays as I find it pointless - I put no effort to be born. It was just a consequence, human nature and luck. As for my parents, it's indeed a special occasion. They created me, they gave me life. So it's their festival, their achievement for which I'll be thankful endlessly. And all the congratulation messages and wishes should be addressed to them.

Parents, thank you for making me who I am. Thanks that in 22 years you made more than just "creating" me. To become a parent means to simply follow the Nature. Almost everybody can become a parent. But raising a child is a real state-of-the-art. You've raised me as an athlete and a man that once experienced a role of being a hub which connected many people around the Globe together. Sounds strange but it is what it is. They follow my journey together, they cheer together, they live together. And I am joining their lives too. While they think of me, I definitely am with them. Therefore, it means that we do have a connection which is much bigger than just a social network.

And it's an honor. Seriously.

Thank you, Parents. Thank you, Fans. Thank you, 22 years of breathing, learning, living.
