happy birthday
to everyone who made my transition from the teen years to, well, the non-teen years memorable and eventful, thank you. to those who braved the rain, thank you. to those who risked failing an exam, thank you. to those who sacrificed a class, thank you. to those who got stressed over the gifts, thank you. to those who went out on a limb to organize the surprises, thank you. to those who flirted with embarrassment, thank you. to those who came close to danger, thank you. to those who offered part of themselves for this day, thank you.
to those who texted, e-mailed, or called, thank you. to those who greeted me along hallways, corridors, and paths, thank you. to those who slapped, pitik-ed, and patted their greetings, thank you. to those who spent time writing on the cards and the album, thank you.
to those who remembered, thank you.
and to those who loved, a bigger thank you still.
