___a birthday spent
I'm officially 19 today. 19 is a funny age to be and I can't really reconcile to the fact that I'm so damn old. It's my very last year of teenagehood and I really don't feel like celebrating next year's birthday - when I turn 20!
I'm glad for so many important people in my life, filling up my life with their presence and taking the time off to celebrate this special day with me. The time spent with my mum in the morning was especially comforting to me. The sense of peace I had when having the meal cooked by her was really heartening. It's been a long time since I've had home-cooked food and the taste of it was just so familiar to me. I guess it's true that on my birthday, the person I should honour most is my mum, simply because she went through such pains to give birth to me on this day.
Anyway, I just want to thank those whom I got to see on this special day of mine, and who treasured me enough to plan something for me. I'm glad for all the cakes and candles, all the wishes that you all allowed me to have the chance to make. I'm so grateful for all your company, for the presents and the cards and everything else. I guess I'm really a blessed girl, and I must say that I was so touched by everything - all the appreciation of me as a friend. I think this birthday felt less like a birthday but more like a day for the celebration of my friendships. Thanks so much to all of you! I'm happy, really happy that I got to spend such a wonderful day with my dearest friends.
