the weather outside is lovely.
it looks like it's gonna rain.
and, it's my birthday.
shoot, i'm in a good mood.
usually i'm all cynical about birthdays and i say that it's just another day and there's nothing special about it and it doesn't matter. but i feel different today.
today i feel like a birthday is a reason to celebrate who you are. it is a day when you personally are recognized for your contributions to the world. a birthday allows you to celebrate your worth.
i think i finally feel this way because this may be the first year that i actually feel like i'm worth something.
heh, i think i've been reading too much ayn rand.
but seriously, thank you to everyone who has wished me happy birthday already.. you guys are awesome. even though the phrase "happy birthday" is so cliche, i really do feel special everytime i hear it.
so thank you all for being my friends and thinking that i am special enough to deserve my own special day (even though it's shared with like 16,438,356 other people. and yeah, i actually took 6 billion and divided it by 365 to get that number. so what if i'm a nerd. and yeah, i know that that's not accurate because there are more than 6 billion people in the world, but whatev, it's close enough.)
heart.
