Last week it was my birthday and I wasn’t as excited as I usually am. Probably because the world is so Dystopian right now. I actually hate this world.
Anyway back to my birthday. It was a little bit different this year because I wasn’t excited for it. I’ve changed a lot in the space of a year. You can’t remain the same when you have seen awful things happen. Even if it is online. No one wants to see a live streamed genocide.
So this year, I didn’t know what I wanted. Until I did. I’m not on about gifts per se. I was on about cake. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love cake. And last year I realised I loved Pandas so I had a panda cake then.
This year I wanted something special so I showed my baker what I wanted and obviously she provided.
It was nice to wake up to gifts too. This year, no one asked me what I wanted per se. But I woke up to gifts. And was I happy? Hell yes.
My brother got me balloons because I bloody love balloons. So yay 🎈🎈🎈 and my mom got me some beautiful flowers. They’re still going strong 💐🌺🌸🌷🌻🌹🌼 but one of my favourite gifts was one given to me by my 16 year old cousin. It was a gift bag made up of snacks that I love, plus a small teddy 🧸 it was a really sweet gift especially because she used her own pocket money and it was her own gift. I think it’s the first time she’s actually done this and I felt very special. Oh there was also the case of the Mystery flowers I received. With a card that literally said ‘Happy Birthday Sumera xx’, I was so confused because I am rarely called Sumera and these were anonymous flowers! Turned out it was from my aunty which was really unexpected. Overall I had a great birthday. Especially because I went out on the day with family, the next day I went out with a couple of friends but that wasn’t a birthday thing, it was more a ‘ooh this place has a great deal on for a few days and we all enjoy the food’ and then on Friday I went out for a beautiful meal with my friends at a nice restaurant. I had a lovely few days celebrating my birthday.
