Happy Birthday!

Today I’m feeling grateful
Grateful for my health (for my cardiac ablation which went well)
Grateful for my family
Grateful for my closest friends
Grateful for being able to get out of a toxic environment (one year and 3 months is more than enough)
Grateful for being able to finally find some peace of mind

---

No need to count how many birthday wishes
No need for birthday celebration
I’m just grateful for being able to feel grateful

---

Happy birthday!
You have countless things to be grateful for!

The sky grows dark
The black over blue
Yet the stars still dare
To shine for you
