An unexpected happiness

Hi everyone!

When I think about a memorable birthday, many come to my mind, but I think that ironically the best one yet have also been the most stressful.

It was my 17^th birthday and I had everything planned, but things didn´t go my way when the same day my cousin invited her friends over to my great grandma’s house. We had to improvise and move everything to my aunt´s yard; there, we went from one problem to another and finally decided to connect everything from extensions and made this kind of outdoor cinema, and of course, in between my friends arrived and helped with the arrangement.

I remember that my friends gave me many “wearable” things like a necklace, a cap, and sunglasses; they even brought me a paper crown! (Because I told them jokingly once that I wanted to be a queen for my birthday) I was so happy at that moment that I putted on everything and spent almost all day switching form the cap to the crown. With that weird look we decided to go pick up a friend who was late (the problems he had are for another story), and celebrating the fact that on the same week one of my friends finally got his driver license. I think that on the road back home I realized that I was having a good time, laying on the back of the pick-up truck, chatting and laughing with my friends, feeling the wind on my face. We came back just in time for the cake and I already had forgotten all the trouble we went through the day, I was just happy to be there with the people I cared about.

From there everything went nicely, we watched movies, played videogames, and because my birthday is on summer it wasn´t chilly even though we were mostly on the yard.
