The Birthday Story

I am turning 24 in 24 days.

Every year at the beginning of July I start planning my birthday and I end up having fun (most of the time).

Yes.I am the kind of girl who gets excited for her birthday two months prior and then I focus on the one coming the next year two months later.

And I usually plan the day so tightly packed so that I am hyper throughout the day.

But this year I want it to be a normal day yet special and happy.

I want to treat myself and that's it.

No forcing others to be happy for me.

I just want to be calm and happy for a day.

I want to see the sunrise.

I want to go for a drive while listening to my favorite music.

I want to get some flowers for myself.

Treat myself to some good food and quality time for choosing to survive and for living amidst the chaos around me.

And for the first time in my 24 years my plan doesn’t include a cake for myself and yet I am content (If you see me regretting this decision.No! that person you are talking about isn't me.)

My resolution for this year is to be less pessimistic but remain crazy and fun to be with.

I also want to be known for being compassionate and strong.

P.S. Gifts are accepted throughout the year on behalf of my birthday.

Love, 

Devu who is trying to be wiser for now.
