Birthday wake up call

I'm an awful Human Being.

Little do I know how much I take people for granted.

Little do I realize how much people love me.

Little do I focus on the good things.

Little do I care about others sacrifice.

But now I do realize.

For the past 22 years I expect everyone and anyone to bend over backwards for me, to give me everything I want, to give me a fairytale or a scene in a movie.

I raise my expectations to the sky and if you don't meet it, I mean a inch off, I am disappointed.
I did all of this on my birthday, I expect the perfect day, pack with every awing moment.

I am an awful person.

September 4, 2009: I woke up and realized what I had done.
I didn't thank:

every person that sent me a birthday text
every person who sent me a Facebook message
my dad for making me breakfast
my dad for playing & singing ridiculous birthday songs
Andrea surprising me with yummy cupcakes and McKenzie drawing me a picture of us
my little brothers giving me birthday hugs, wishes and spending the little money they had to by me converts
my brother Jonathan sending me the best birthday video from Flagstaff
my mother taking me to get a pedicure, although I know she didn't have the funds to pay for it
my sister joining us at the pedicure
my sister giving me the best book ever, although she had to go to 10 different stores to find the book
my nieces and nephews giving the best birthday voice message
and
Armando giving me yellow roses and the best card, knowing how much I love yellow flowers
Armando for being so patient and waiting for me, even though I took three hours at the salon
Armando for looking so fine in my favorite cloths of his
Armando for shaving, I love his baby face
Armando for driving me every where, because I don't have a car
Armando for taking me to dinner even though he didn't have the money for it
Armando for hugging, holding me and giving me everything he could give me.

How could I be so ungrateful?
September 4, 2009 I woke up thankful that I had the best boyfriend a girl could have. I woke up thankful having friends who loved me and spent the time to show me. I woke up thankful having a family that loves me so much. I woke up loved and thankful!
Birthdays are about spending time with those people, birthdays are about being happy, simple and loved in the smallest ways.

- Thank you for the birthday wishes
