This past weekend was my 24th birthday. And I normally hate my birthday. I tend to be one of those people who go all out for my friends birthdays and yet somehow my birthday tends to be forgotten by most. I don't blame them it's at the start of school so they have other things on there minds. That's okay for me. So my friend told me to just not expect anything and in exchange I would be pleasantly surprised if anyone did anything or didn't. Basically just relax. And this year had to be the best birthday ever. I had many calls, texts and facebook wall posts and it made me feel soo loved. :-) I spent time with my closest friends and roomie and just had a good day overall. I did work but even than it was fine for me. My assistant manager found out it was my birthday and let me leave early. I even had a customer who's birthday was the same day!! Crazy! What are the odds lol.
The only downside to my birthday was that I got sick that night and was sick for 2 days after that.
But my birthday this year taught me a valuable lesson. If you don't expect anything from anyone you will always be pleasantly surprised. Plus when you expect soo much from people it puts pressure on them when you dont even realize. that's not fair of us to ask soo much of others. And I tend to do that alot. But now that I realized this I try not to do that and I realized that even my mood and outlook on life is slowly changing but for the better.
You all should try it. It will increase your relationships with those in your life whether it be you mom, boyfriend, wife or etc.
Love you all!
