Happy Birthday!

Last year, when I found out I was accepted into my current school, two friends

bought me take-out (insisting I choose whatever I wanted) and let me have my

pick of the tequila that went into our margaritas.

I realized I had never been celebrated like that. When everyone blew off my

16th birthday, I just started throwing my own parties.

It sounds sad, but it was really cool to be celebrated for an evening. Even in

the most simple of ways! What a beautiful new experience that was for me!

And I'm so glad you received the same experience. How wonderful for you!

Blessings,

Karla

I'm glad you stopped by to check in. I go through days where I just read but

don't really comment. Then have days where I just need to vent. I find this

place to be the best to vent since you all understand and actually believe me.

Also, I don't feel comfortable discussing it with my siblings. Like until they

realize it themselves, it's too dangerous.
