Today is my birthday and the way it started was in tears, sadness, tears, disappointment, tears, and me not feeling okay. As much as everyone wants to be happy on their birthday, I started mine off not okay or happy. I didn’t feel happiness at the awakening hours. I reached out to three friends and their encouragement was just what I needed. I also prayed for my tears to turn into joy and that my day turn around for the better. I took deep breaths, got myself up from the floor, wiped my tears, and looked in the mirror to tell myself it gets better. I told myself it’s not that bad. I turned on some worship music and begin to feel better than I started. Today is my birthday ; and I will be happy. I will be happy because it is a blessing to see another year. Turning my day around. Happy Birthday to me!
