He Planned My Birthday

This was the first year I can ever remember that someone planned my birthday for me.

It’s not that nobody ever tried or wanted to. I don’t recall ever blocking it.

I’ve just that I’ve always known what I wanted and claimed it aloud.

A beach day (often solo) and then a small intimate dinner with people I love.

I love the ease and simplicity of it.

I’ve always had a sunny gorgeous birthday and I’ve never gone to school or worked on my birthday.

Yeah, I’m in love with my birthday.

I love the Virgo energy and vibes.

I love summer and the beach.

I always want to be by the water.

It’s a soul home for me.

Well y’all this year was a different situation.

My partner said he wanted to plan and surprise me for my birthday.

‘F*ck Damn Ugh’ is how it felt to me.

But I can easily recognize when I’m attached to my preferences and so I said yes.

He also knows what I love so of course he planned a day at the beach

There’s a lot of JOY in letting go and receiving. Allowing the Universe (and a man) to surprise you beyond your dreams.
