Sweet Sixteen

It isn't very sweet, more like enlightening. It was a great feeling of awe. Every year I anticipate my birthday knowing that it's my own special day out of 365. But whenever the date comes nearer and nearer, I always tend to hesitate. In a way, it is a day to prove your love for another person. It might sound harsh, but it especially emphasizes the effort you give in a friendship/relationship. And thats what I'm always scared of. What if the people I assume that cares, don't? And what if they forget? Yes, I have many 'what ifs.' But I realized today that it's the unexpected people that will make your birthday. This year proves it.  A "happy birthday" from a stranger is more touching than is creepy. Yes, I will say I am disappointed in a couple of things, but I have to look at the bigger picture. Today was my day and no matter the assumptions or doubts that I had, the world still made it better and better.
