Forget-me-not

Every year, I have the same nightmare right before my birthday strikes. Everybody forgets about my big day and nobody comes to my party.

My anxiety used to be through the roof. I had dizzy spells in the shower. I can't drink caffeinated coffee or energy drinks. Ironcially and surprisingly, living in New York has somewhat mitigated this. I've become a much calmer person in the two and a half years (EXACTLY today!) that I've lived here.

But this damn dream. I don't normally have it until closer to my birthday, but the last two days have brought sleepless nights and I'm exhausted. I just want to get it over with.

In real life, I do still worry that people will forget. I always get very excited about the birthdays of my family and friends and I hope that they will do the same for me. At press time I have no party planned so at least that part can't come true!

No one will forget! You are too lovely and too loved for that to happen. So now you can get a good night's sleep! ;-) xoxo

I have the same one! I make such an effort to make sure that people have their special days, even if my life is crazy I still make sure I send a card, call, text, AND facebook them-I get scared that people will forget about me too. Don't worry-the ones that truly matter never do!
