I'm not much of a birthday person.
It always feels like too much pressure.
To make sure they know how loved they are.
To accept "happy birthday" and gifts.
To have to weigh the things that make my heart soar with the expectations of how I'm supposed to want to celebrate my birthday.
I don't think I'll ever love birthdays but I'm trying to make it something for birthday lovers.
I may never plan confetti shooters or surprise parties.
I may be awkward when you tell me happy birthday for the fourth time.
(Because come on, once is enough.)
But please know if you're my people I love you to the depths and I'm thankful you're in my life.
