Happy Birthday to Me! 🎂🎉

Today is my birthday! I feel excited and happy. It is going to be a day dedicated solely for me. I remember waking up glad on the set that I was going to be cooking today! I wanted to savor each precious moment.

Celebrating Alone

However, throughout the day I begin to observe something • I have yet to receive any blessings. My friends are busy. They have their own plans. I feel a little sad. I glance around—does anyone remember my birthday?

A Simple Wish

I wish for simple things. A hug or a call, even just one of those sweet text messages. Hearing those little things can turn my day right around. Like a nice card or small gift. It brings joy to my heart. But for now, I sit quietly. I remind myself that every day is a gift.

Finding Joy

Even if no one remembers, I can always delight in my day. The birthdays that were not autistic in the past. I recall cake, candles and parties with friends and family. Those memories warm my heart.

Today, I’ll just have to manifest my own chunks of joy. I play with my favorite toy. I watch my favorite movie. It will be a treat which I can use as snack. These little things always make my day!

A Birthday Wish

I pause to make a wish. Many more happy birthdays to come. Well, for my part: I hope to find some measures of love and laughter myself. I pray that I have more birthdays with friends and fun.

It may be silent today , but I am sure tomorrow will roar. But I remind myself that Happiness is created by me. So, happy birthday to me! It’s My Birthday And I’ll Write If I Want To — 🎂🍰🎁
