Birthday Blues Turned to Birthday Fun!
So, I just turned 23 on February 6. Initially, I was trying desperately to avoid my Birthday and to just skip right over it. Mostly because I was having a lot of anxiety over my Birthday and there were a lot of painful memories from last year that kept resurfacing and haunting me. To the extent where I was having nightmares that were keeping me from sleeping good at night. Also, I probably was a little bitter over the fact that I never got to celebrate my Birthday one last time with my mom, because she was in the hospital last year on my Birthday and we never got to celebrate together before she got super sick and ended up passing away. So, I just did not want to celebrate my Birthday. To top it off, the Saturday before my Birthday, I was having car trouble and was just over all frustrated and sick of being an adult. I just was not having it and did not want to celebrate at all. But, those who love me wouldn't let me skip it. First off, my wonderful family made me feel very love...
