Hello,
This hello is a shy hello, but it's also excited. It's shy because I've been easy for so long and my excuse is life happened. It's excited because I'm a year older and I finished the degree that was after my lifeš. The purpose of this is just to be vain and talk about how it's my birthday.
I've always been a birthday person. I think it's because I'm vain. I've only had birthday blues twice in my life. The first time, I fought with my parents some hours before my birthday. I can't even remember what it was about, but I was furious, and I cried. Then my mum came to my room about an hour before my birthday, saw me crying, and asked what had happened. I remember telling her that I didn't like what she did, and she apologized and spoke to me about how it's not good to be sad before my birthday.Ā
The second time, It was my vanity speaking because I felt like I was not the center of attention.
This year, I'm not even doing anything on my birthday, but my vain self won't let it pass. I'm doing a bingo thing about me with my friends. It's simple, how they met me and other stuff like that. I want my birthday to be about me. I probably don't understand why some people are not birthday people. For me, it's a day to be completely self-absorbed, and self-absorbed vanity is where I thrive.
My birthday comes once a year, so why not make the best of it? As I write this, my birthday is in a week. The checklist thing is cute. I don't have good behavior, so my three friends have posted how they met me, and it's adorable. Maybe itās because Iām happy, but Iāve loved everything on the checklist. I feel like Iām being wooed. I like that things they like about me are things Iām not even conscious of. And the random things about me they remember. I got book recommendations too. And the songs, it's nostalgic to remember that I used to be so into so many of these things. The memories too! I can't believe we did that, and those were fun times.Ā
Also, my friends let it slip thatĀ I'm talkative. I knew that, but seeing people say it is surprising, like, oh! Wow! Do you think so? I know it's the truth, but still⦠They say conversation never gets boring with me, and that's a win. I'm a good conversationalist, and I know how to put people in the best moods. It makes up for all My bad behaviour.Ā
As I wrap up this post on my birthday, I'm excited to be a year older. I have no plans for today, but I'm happy, and it's a win. I asked my friends for epistles, so let's see what they come up with. I know I'm going to eat good with plenty of onions
Fingers crossedš¤š¾
