So I wasn't sure about posting anything at first,
since you mentioned not being all comfortable with your b-day this year.
BUT it is your birthday after all and I say you deserve a little happy, colourful post,
that's why I made you one:
This is when it gets to the hard part.
I'm not really the right person to cheer you up right now,
although I'd really like to say something helpful.
But with me being pretty much crushed right now myself
I didn't want to sound cynical.
So here's what I can say:
I know that dark side, because I carry it inside of myself too.
At the same time I know that you're carrying that
warm and lightful part as well, even though it might seem absent right now,
it's not!
So here's what I'm wishing for your 21 birthday:
I simply wish that the light side wins over the dark side
more often than the other way around!
And that the light side might feel more like you
than the other side.
Otherwise I'm wishing you lots of candles in the form of friends
that are showing you the wonderful and loved person that you are,
even when you can't see it yourself!
Because you are!
Have a great and warm day!
Love, *hugs* and best wishes!
And as a little gift I'd like to dedicate this quote to you.
I stumbled over it and it had you written all over it!
