Hello World.
Guess whose birthday it is?
That's right.
MINE.
So well, happy birthday to me! And just to update you all, I had not a) died, b) been abducted by aliens and c) forgotten you all. I just had my final exams for this term, and I was so busy studying that I had no time to type a post whatsoever. No, not even a random update. Well, I guess now that I'm back, the world is happy. And damn, does it feel good to be typing again. Blogging seems to be addictive, well - your fingers often do itch to type a post and when you do - PURE HAPPINESS.
Well shall we begin with our birthday special post?
I started out dreading this birthday. It was the first I was spending in a new city, away from my best friends, and it was also the first birthday I spent giving my exams. My new friends in this school had exams to give too, and while I was giving only a simple Spanish oral exam, the others were giving complicated Physics and Chemistry papers (sincerely, I hope you all do well :D) Now why did I dread my birthday? I thought that everyone would forget my birthday in the exam confusion.
I knew that my friends were busy with exams and therefore I couldn't have a birthday party, as I was no one to come in the way of their grades. This meant that I wouldn't get any presents (except from maybe my parents and one or two family members), and as someone who had always done something small but LOADS of fun on their birthday, I knew I was going to miss that. I felt like this would be a horrible birthday, that people would ignore me and that I would basically have a really annoying, bad day where I only celebrated with family without my friends, making my celebration incomplete, which I didn't like.
As many times as I have experienced this phenomenon, I need to learn that any time I expect something, the exact opposite happens.
It began when I woke up this morning. My parents walked into the room singing the Happy Birthday song to wake me up, and gave me a gift (which made me pretty surprised considering that I had already got clothes for my birthday). My gift was two books, and non-fiction books with some of the most interesting titles that I'd seen. As I stepped off the bus and walked over to check the seating plan for my orals, I already started getting my first wishes - a bunch of people waiting near the library wished me from above. Blood Candy promptly forgot my birthday in a frenzy for her Physics exam despite the fact that the chocolates I brought were right under her nose. She came to remember when many others like Sadness (yes this is a friend, again not his real name), Anya, Rebecca and Dylan wished me.
So many people that I didn't even expect would remember my birthday wished me or came and wrapped me in random hugs. One of my friends Sierra engulfed me in about ten hugs in the first five minutes in which I saw her, and I feel like she was more excited than I was. I even had the best oral ever, because my Spanish teacher made sure it was tons of fun and I was able to very freely converse in Spanish, and this time, I wasn't even anxious. As I left school early to proceed to my grandmother's house where I would spend the day, I happened to check my phone to see what was up with the world.
Google had given me a birthday doodle, and it is quite amazing how a web browser can make you feel special, but it did. Rabbit uploaded this really sweet birthday movie on Instagram with the most heart-warming message ever, Shark gave me a series of capital letters wishing me happy birthday that finally got me excited for my own birthday too. Sara's message is probably one that I most valued - all it said was 'Happy Birthday Soulmate!' but really it was the best thing ever. My group chat with the other 9th-graders at my school showed about ten people wishing me, and trust me, I never even expected so much love.
ALSO SAM UPLOADED THIS WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS SONG YESTERDAY AND TRUST ME I AM IN LOVE. I have been listening to it on repeat and it feels like a birthday gift too! Not to mention that the 2016 Pop Medley is also coming out soon (PROBABLY TOMORROW) and I CAN'T WAIT. I can't believe even my favourite YouTubers are literally making this the best day ever. (Which also reminds me Kurt Schneider replied to me on the 4th of December right before my exams started and just ASDFGHJKL)
Well, all I can say is, I think I won't expect things anymore. This has been such an amazing birthday and it's only halfway done (it's 12pm right now)! I don't even know what's left in store for me, and I'm sure this year will be amazing!
Wow. I just typed so much. I guess that's what happens when you don't post for three weeks ;)
I love you all! Have an amazing day!
