Best birthday present EVER!
How do you know if you are loved? Over the last month, I have received messages and gifts from countries around the world.
Flowers and a balloon from Singapore
A smiley happy aging mandarin from Melbourne
Whatsapp audio recordings of Marilyn-esque birthday tunes
Early-morning birthday songs from Sydney on Viber
A pub-hopping weekend in London
But my favourite of all, the most invaluable of all, just arrived in the mail:
I don’t need thousands of friends on Facebook, or constant phone calls of reassurance, or a man in my bed every night, or or or… to know that I am loved. I already have everything I need. I have a very special select group of friends and family who love and respect me, who are proud of me now and will be in the future, and trust that although I’m not perfect, I make up for it with sparkling personality and a smokin attitude.
To all of you, this is me telling you you’re loved.
