🎂 The Third of June

Life Has Been Beautiful for a Day🕊

🧚‍♀️When life gives you every reason to cry, you suddenly remember that you have a birthday too.🧖‍♀️

🗓A date on the calendar gave me a brief pause from the life I’ve grown accustomed to. A life that has been messy, complicated, and sometimes unnecessarily dramatic.

Yet, on the 3rd of June, every sadness around me seemed to take a step back.🧚‍♀️

🌪Ironically, the day started with disappointment.

💭I had imagined my birthday beginning at midnight 12 A. M. ... because apart from my family, there were two people who mattered enough for me to expect wish from them.

To be fair i had done my part.. 💃🏻I had spent an entire week reminding everyone that my birthday was coming. I don’t think I left a single person in my real life and on Medium as well without knowing the date. 🤭

☘️And yet, midnight arrived. No wishes. Both of my most expected people forgot.☘️

💫I lay awake wondering how that had happened before finally falling asleep, hoping at least my family wouldn’t disappoint me.👩‍💻

After all, I had demanded a surprise from them and hoped they wont shock me instead... 🤸‍♀️

💕The next morning, they delivered..the surprise ...🎁

👗The day began with an outfit surprise, and they genuinely managed to catch me off guard. The excitement instantly changed the mood of the day.

👩‍💻I proudly posted my outfit and accessories gift on WhatsApp Status... But if I am being truthful, there was still a tiny corner of my heart quietly waiting for those two wishes.🍂

💫Instead, the universe had prepared different surprises.

💕A friend had already dedicated a birthday status to me, which felt like a gift in itself. Then more wishes started arriving. Some people probably remembered only after seeing my status, but honestly, it didn’t matter anymore.🌼

❤ Love had arrived anyway.

Then came the Birthday Cake and Poses for the camera.🎂

And my family brought two cakes! 🎂🎂

My priorities were clear: photos first. 🤭📸 (Author’s image)

👗💄💅One cake perfectly matched my dress because photographs are important priorities on birthdays. 🤭🤭

🍰The second cake represented my family’s priorities because apparently they were not willing to sacrifice their taste buds for my aesthetic vision.💃🏻

🌿A fair compromise, I suppose.

☕Later, my brother took us out for a coffee evening. It felt special because last year’s birthday outfit had remained folded, untouched, and perfectly clean when his meetings took over the day.👩‍💻

💕This year, he made time.

📍We visited our favorite place, Paul’s Restaurant , enjoyed coffee, laughter, and a relaxed evening together.🌱

🍽The celebration ended with dinner cooked entirely by my father.

For one day, my family decided that the household’s MasterChef deserved a holiday and some pampering. 🤭🤭

🌸Of course, no birthday story of mine can remain completely uncomplicated.

💃🏻At the end of the day, I had a fight with that "special" person.

🧖‍♀️His defense was simple: he got drunk that night and forgot it was already the 3rd of June.

I am still unconvinced.💃🏻

🌱Perhaps being special to someone and being remembered by them are not always the same thing. I promised him that I would erase the 9th of November from my memory forever , the day of his birthday....🧚‍♀️ But dramatic declarations are sometimes part of the healing process. 🤭

🕊Looking back, this birthday began with a sad song playing at midnight because nobody wished me.

But it ended with memories, photographs and enough poses to keep my DP changing for at least a month.🧚‍♀️

🌊Sometimes the people we expect the most disappoint us. But the people who love us quietly step forward and fill the day with enough joy that the disappointment no longer gets the final word.💕💕

🌸For one day, life was beautiful. Just beautiful enough to remind me that happiness still knows where to find me🌸 And for now, that feels like more than enough.🕊

Thank you to everyone who sent me birthday wishes and blessings through the comments on my last blog. 💕

💕 Parvathi J , I’m especially grateful to you for mentioning my birthday in your blog. 🌸

You all have showered me with so much love that this birthday already feels incredibly special to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💖
