Day 13

Although I know I am incredibly late, I still feel it is necessary to record my past thoughts...

On January 13, I turned eighteen. Ever since seventh grade, there has been no school on my birthday because of snow. To most kids, that's perfect, but I'd rather spend the day with friends. Well, to my non-surprise, the first snow of the year was on my birthday. I couldn't get out, and no one could get out to see me. I was so bummed out that I sat on the couch in my pajamas reading a depressing book. No  lie. I kept thinking (even though I knew it was pathetic to be wallowing in my own self pity on my eighteenth birthday) that no one cared enough to try to come see me. Then, wouldn't you know it, a big group of my friends came bombarding through my door with cookies, cake, presents, and chicken nuggets in hand. :) I was so incredibly ecstatic, and I felt so guilty and stupid for my previous thoughts.
After they left, my family and my boyfriend were going to go out to eat. But, to my surprise, we instead went to my grandmother's house for my SECOND surprise party! How blessed am I! I totally do not deserve the blessings I have been given . Especially after I had sulked all day long.
And THEN on the next school day, my English class had me a THIRD surprise party!
So, the moral of the story is that whenever you feel like no one loves you, look around. I know there will be plenty of warm hearts to welcome you in. :)
