twentythree

So here I am wondering if anyone else does this?

You stayed up late on the night before your birthday waiting to see who's the first person 
to text or call you to say
"Happy Birthday!".
To see who stayed up all night just to wish you 
(or for whatever reason it may be that they stayed up late.)
Reasons don't matter as long as they have the intention to wish you on your birthday, 
cos it's only once a year and that's why it's special for you.
After picking up the calls and responded to the messages, you fall asleep happily at about 2am.

Those were the days and I sure hope I'm not the only one.

Similarly I did stay up just to wish my close friends and there were a few times that I accidentally wished on the day before their birthday at midnight. It was such a blur when that happened and we would laugh about it saying that I'm really the first person to wish them.

For all the birthday parties that were planned up until now, I realized that I didn't really got the chance to thank people for it (or maybe I can't recall if I did).

Thank you for all the surprises and presents throughout this 23 years of life. 

Thanks a lot you lovely human beings for willing to spend time with me even it was a short session 

to just gather and have a meal together on my birthday. 

I'm sorry for not knowing how to appreciate things when I was younger but now that I'm 23, 

I do know better and I will do better from now on.

I'm sorry it took me so long to realize all this.

I'm so glad to have met and known all these beautiful people in my life.
I'm sorry that I'm not a pleasant human being to interact with at times but thank you for putting an effort in maintaining this bond between us.

Thank you for sticking around despite knowing my flaws and insecurites and mostly,

Thank you for painting colours on my blank canvas.





Happy birthday, Sara. 

Here's to another year full of experiences, joy, happiness, surprises and more adventures to come!

Things may be difficult now but you'll make it through.

I wish for the happiness of the people around me and for them to stay healthy always.

Another ridiculous wish of mine is to have power like Charles Xavier to read minds.
Can?

Thanks to Snapchat, I don't even need to dress up for Halloween :P
Happy (advanced) Halloween everyone!

P.S I might still be awake at midnight *hint hint* okay kidding.

Love, Sara.
