“But, I wanted cake.”

Don’t you hate it when you’ve gotten used to being numb and something comes along and reminds you what it’s like to be let down again?

Today, I’ve realized that I am mentally abused by my family and the people who surround me, everyday.

Today, I’ve sat through the most miserable dinner of my life.

Today, I’ve been hurt so bad just because I wanted to do something nice.

Today, I’ve realized that it’s not the first time it’s happened.

Today, was the first time that I’ve had someone apologize for hurting my feelings.

Today, despite my tears, I’ve finally realized that someone cares about the way I feel and that makes me happy.

Today, it was his birthday.

Today, I took the time to look pretty.

Today, was the day I worked extra hours for, just so I could get him something nice.

Today, we cried.

Today, we start the rest of our lives with a new promise, “No more sucky birthdays.”
