"Nobody likes you when you're 23..."
Hahaha...sooo not true! I'm 23 today, and I feel like more people like me than I thought. I don't know why, but I have this weird insecurity thing. I was convinced that not many people would remember my birthday and that it was totally gonna suck because I'm not with my college friends and my mother and sister are in Florida without me. But it didn't! Everybody at work was super nice to me...15 out of about 20 people in my department gave me at least a card...I got jelly beans, an Easter egg full of LifeSaver candy,a box of chocolate, a box of donuts which I shared, bath & body stuff, and lotto scratch offs from which I won $8. My dad delivered a beautiful bouquet of flowers at work. I got a text message from my sis and calls from my mom, Chelsea, and Sarah. A surprisingly large amount of people left me Facebook messages. I was overwhelmed and giddy. I guess sometimes I just don't realize how many people really care about me. It's really nice to be reminded, especially when (if you're like me)you live inside your head and aren't the most perceptive person. Either that, or one of my coping mechanisms is to expect/prepare myself for the very worst so that I'm not dispappointed. Whatever, the point is, I had a surprisingly good birthday.
