Birthday

1- Went with friend X to Juliette & Chocolat, had delicious desserts and iced coffee. Friend X brought me a lovely gift.

2- Bought Matcha Latte from Starbucks. The employee asked for my name, for which I replied “happy birthday”.

3- Took a walk in the freezing cold while taking photos with my camera of sceneries that made me feel something.

4- Found a hidden geocache tied to a branch with a ribbon. Thought I was going to discover a valuable treasure for a hot minute. The geocache had a note that lead me to a wordpress page. No treasure was found.

5- Had a random conversation with a man about cellphone chargers.

6- Lost my phone in a park then returned and found it in the exact same spot I left it. I hugged my phone and apologized to it.

7- Watched the animated film “Coraline” with friend Y. After, we did the following activities:

8- Tried to blend in with a group of people going on a ghost hunting event. Left after feeling worried about being exposed.

9- Had a bourbon cherry juice cocktail, while friend Y had beer.

10- Friend Y accidentally took a sip from a glass that I spitted a cherry in. This incident was unpleasant to friend Y, while it made me have a good laugh.

11- Found two fake glowy candles on our table. The candles made my birthday feel more “real”.

12- Stumbled upon a homeless man with the same birthday as mine. Five minutes after walking away, I felt immense regret for leaving without giving him something. Still trying to forgive myself.

13- Went back home and found surprise birthday balloons brought by my mother. And a birthday cake. I made a wish around 11:50 pm and blew a candle.

14- Read the book friend X gifted to me and petted a tiny stuffed puppy he also gifted me. Felt happy to be having such cute things.

15- Replied to friends who sent me birthday wishes on social media. Felt warm inside.
