Special Days….

Let's talk birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, basically any day you deem as special. I have a lot of these, and my list is ever growing. It kind of adapts along with the phases in my life. To know me is to also know that I have an unnatural love for birthdays.

I fucking LOVE birthdays!! Mine, yours, theirs, all of 'em lmao. I love making people feel special on their day. I really do think everyone should be celebrated on their birthday. So, in my life, I celebrate those close to me. I either buy or bake a cake and get you the little things that I know you'll like. If I really like you (partner, kids, besties) then I try to go all out. I don't think I've met someone like me in this aspect.

I'm not a "center of attention" kind of person. I avoid it like the plague, but on my birthday, ON MY BIRTHDAY!!! It's my day to act out, it's my day to make sure everything is about me. It's the only day out of the entire year where I require the focus of everyone around me. I want people to call and to text and to send me shit and sing to me and buy me shit because it's MY SPECIAL DAY!! That special day is 2 weeks away!! Sagittarius gang ♐️♐️

I was born Saturday December 13th, 1986. I'm turning 36 this year. Sometimes it's hard to believe how old I am lmao. Last year was a rough birthday, I didn't feel like celebrating much because it was a hard year so it kind of felt like there wasn't anything to celebrate. I went to a bar by myself, I think it was the first time I ever did that. Turned out to be the bartenders birthday too so I got free shots, yay!! I ended up with some unexpected company and it turned out to be a pretty great night.

Anyway my birthday is probably my favorite day of the year, the second favorite is Christmas. I looooove me some Christmas. My house usually looks like the North Pole threw up on it. As a kid Christmas wasn't great. I never really got anything but I always loved how special it felt. I always believed in Santa Claus and I always had this hope that one Christmas I'd wake up and there would be a Christmas miracle and I'd actually have presents under the tree, when we actually had a tree.

Maybe I like it so much because now that I get to create my own magic I make it as special as I like, especially for the kids. My older kids really got to experience some serious Christmas magic, we wrote letters to Santa, made calls to Santa, baked cookies, David and I would spend every Christmas Eve wrapping presents. We'd be exhausted in the morning, but it was always worth it when we saw their little faces light up. My little guys didn't get to experience the magic as long as the big ones, however, now that it's just me, I still try to make it as special as I can. It's harder, but not impossible. I have to admit the hardest part is wrapping all that shit by myself, David was my little elf, he would do most of the wrapping. We'll see how this year goes, last year was tough and I had to recruit the older kids as elves. They learned what goes into it though and I like to think that they appreciate it a little more now that they saw what it entails.

Anniversaries are another favorite of mine. To me, an anniversary is just as special as a birthday. It's that special and specific day that something important happened with a person you love. In relationships I'm the type to celebrate it all, the first day we met, the first time we had sex, the first trip, the first everything. I don't know about y'all, but I'm a hell of girlfriend or wife. Whoever takes my heart is really lucky in many ways. Unfortunately, I have a tendency of giving too much, putting in enough effort and love for both people in the relationship. My little heart always gets mishandled. You'd think I would have learned by now. It's all good though because hate doesn't live here. I've gotten really good at forgiveness too.

I try to be a positive person. I try to see the good in almost everything and when I give up on people it's because they haven't given me any other option. But once I love you, I'll love you forever and even when I move on I'm always gonna wish you well.

New years is another favorite of mine. It's always filled with so much hope and love and happiness. I'm not a "new year, new me" kind of person but I am a hopeful person. And every New Year's Eve I'm filled with joy, hope and love and I look forward to the new year ahead because the possibilities are endless.

Sooooo my lovelies, this holiday season, try to look on the bright side even when shit is going south, because it won't be going south forever. Celebrate EVERYTHING, even the bad because it'll teach you something.

Love always,

Dory ✨
