mY birthday,
Four days ago was my birthday and like my previous birthdays, I didn’t feel the so-called happiness. It was Saturday and I was all alone in my room and I needed someone to talk about my special day. Unfortunately, no one was around and I felt the emptiness inside of me. I asked myself whether I should celebrate it or not. My budget wasn’t good enough to invite people. I lay down in my bunk and kept on thinking how should I celebrate my birthday.
Saturday and Sunday were my days off since I requested it from my team leader. I was supposed to hang out with friends or relatives or dined in the mall or went somewhere else where happiness could be found. But I really lacked the budget. I wanted to celebrate my birthday like how my office mates celebrated their own. But I didn’t have the haphazard to celebrate it like no other. I had several plans but those were unreachable. I was sad, honestly. I was hurt but I could do nothing. It was as if I was triggered with bad luck as what they call it. But it was my birthday. I should be happy though and thanked God for the opportunities he had bestowed on me. I wouldn’t be here in Manila with a good-at-least salary.
Until the day almost ended, I took a bath and dressed up myself. I went to church and prayed. And I felt the lightness of my soul and joyful spirit. I knew He heard my wishes. He was always my refuge in my sorrows and failures. And I believed He was sitting beside me. I never noticed, my tears zigzagged down my pale cheeks. I had to wipe it for I was in middle of the peaceful crowd.
I thanked God for all the blessings I had last year. I wouldn’t grow like this without his presence. I couldn’t even write this message now without Him. I knew I still had more birthdays to come and a lot birthdays to celebrate, blissfully!!!
