19 I am.

So my birthday is coming to a close. But I feel like I've been celebrating for the last 3 days, so everything works out. I am 19 now. Don't know how that happened. Surely feels like I'm still 10. Oh well. The day turned out rather well, despite the having to go to class part, and the 6-year old brother crying through the entire dinner (He later said he was sorry he misbehaved and reinvited me to his birthday). It comes to the point when you don't really care how many presents you get. It's really just the whole appreciation of feeling loved. And I do today. Thanks to everybody who wished me well, everybody who told everyone else to wish me well, and of course, those of you who really, really went the extra step to make it a good one for me. Everyone deserves people like that in their life.

And I also want to say, I've been told that blogs are a good place to just vent. But I think, perhaps more importantly, its a good way to express your love and appreciation, to those who really deserve to hear it. There is not enough gratitude in this world. Just promise me you won't take for granted what you got. Thank you and goodnight.
