Happy Birthday to Me!
I love birthdays. I love the joy and anticipation and celebration. I love the idea that every single year, every single person gets a day to celebrate the simple fact that they were born into existence. I also love cake. My love for birthdays was born at a young age. My first memories of birthday…
