Birthday Flowers

So yes, today is the birthday.

I am accustomed to having high expectations for things like birthdays — i.e. (upon waking up in the morning, I think to myself): this cup of coffee must be the best cup of coffee I have ever had because it is my birthday cup of coffee. Needless to say, somehow I feel a bit of…pressure. It’s not just with birthdays, but with any semi-significant event in my life.

I must say, however, that today has been pressure-free.

Editorial Postscript: thanks for all the birthday wishes, dear readers!

due to an overattentive mother who grew up poor, birthdays (and all such significant events) have always been high-pressure occasions for me too. i expect (but will never ask) people to make the day nothing short of amazing for me. dealing with my unrealistic expectations on birthdays/graduations/holidays since i left home has been quite difficult to say the least.

My birthday was the 30th and I had the same thing - until I tripped putting on my favorite shirt and ripped a hole in the armpit - then I realized the plan had to be like that of every other day: survive.
