Looking at the friends that surround my life these days, it's hard not to be contented. But on my birthday, I looked at him and went, "Something feels missing this year." I paused and stared out into the crimson horizon as the last bit of daylight dipped into the ocean far away. "I was happier last year," I continued after putting deep thought into the feeling inside me. He looked at me and smiled knowingly.
It's easy to mistaken my feelings and wonder what more can a girl want from a birthday holiday at a dream destination. But that feeling inside me is simple.
Looking back at this time last year, I was truly blessed. Through my birthday celebrations, I found true friends in people who had been there all the while; I found assurance in brothers I never thought I'd have; and most importantly, I found a friend who loved me.
Of all birthday celebrations, the ones I look forward to is this weekend.
