Hello everyone! Allow me to share with you my story with regards to what happened on my birthday, I will also share to you how important it is to have someone that truly cares for you. It is not only a birthday story, but it is also a travel story.
It was my 21st birthday and I was so excited to wake up knowing that I'll get a lot of messages from the people that I know. I was excitedly turning on my phone and checking my messaging app to see if there were birthday greetings for me. There's a smile on my face as I saw those friends of mine greets me at 12 midnight. They really make an effort to greet me at midnight even though I am not able to read those messages immediately for the reason that I fall asleep early that night. I get myself out of the bed and fix everything, I even washed my face to start my day.
On that same day, I felt downcast, for the reason that one of my favorite person forgot my special day. It is supposed to be an exciting birthday, because one of my friend told me to have a lunch date with her and it would be her treat, but it turned out to be an unhappy day for me.
I was melancholy that day, I cried until I fell asleep on our couch. I am not able to think of what to do during that day. I was reading the birthday greetings that my friends, classmates, and other member of my family that sent me, I appreciate for the warm greetings that they have sent, but there's this one person that really makes me feel sad during my special day, but I don't the have right to complain about those things, so I just isolate myself and moved on.
It was already afternoon and I was sleeping on the couch when my older sister called me and asked me how my birthday went.
I told her everything and she felt downcast about what happened. You know what? She is always a life saver, she always saves me from my sadness and everything. She told me to fix myself, because we're going somewhere that would lessen the sadness that I felt. Big sisters are really the best, they won't make your life miserable in all corners.
That day we went to a beach that is 48.9 km away from our city. The Royal Beach at Municipality of Pontevedra, Negros Occidental. When we got there, I was amazed by the view of the beach. It has a lot of coconut trees that surround the area. I was also amazed by the view of the beach since we got there at exactly 4PM.
My mind is still thinking about the painful thing that happens on my birthday, but my sister comforts me in front of the sea, she hugged me so tight and tell "don't be sad, it's ok if other people doesn't remember the special day you have, what important is you have to enjoy the moment because this only happens once", and those words sinks in my mind. I was thinking that life could be sad and on the other way around it is joyful. Imagine there are people that forget about you and also there are people who really care for you. I was sad knowing that one of the important person of mine forgets the day that is special to me, and at the same time I was genuinely happy because there are still people that remembers me.
As I grow older, I have realized that we cannot force everyone to think about us, care for us, and most especially to be there for us if we needed them. If we think more wisely, we could come up with the reflections that not everyone will remember us, just as how we remember them.
The only thing that I will let you think is that, let's all be grateful for the things that are happening to us, for the reason that every happening has its own reason and we all need to do is, just look for the positivity and the bright side of life.
In addition, it is really good having someone at your side who really understood your emotions and will comfort you when you needed them badly.
You are so lucky to have your sister to hug you when you are not well. It reminded me of my late sister and a Hiveain who is not with us anymore. I wish you are well sis and have a great day!
I'm sorry for your loss, I know your sister also loves you so much💗

Happy Birthday! That one person is only one, think about those people who remembered it, that I think is enough reason to feel happy ❤️. Big sister is to the rescue, lucky you for having a sister like her. Ang saya kaya sa dapat tumambay, medyo nakaka lumbay ang scenery minsan but, if you appreciate more thr surrounding, mas maeenjoy mo. It is surrounded with blue and green, isn't that perfect 🤩🤩✨
Indeed! that is why also I love to travel, I want to enlighten my mind sa mga bagay na gusto ko pang malaman. Thank you @ruffatotmeee
Forgetting a special date of yours doesn't mean that the person doesn't care about you at all. Some things need to be understood. I real person who cared about you is when your tough times, He or she is there to lift you, comfort you, and carry also the burden you've carried.
Some time, I also forget a special date of my loved ones. Most often at my busiest moments.
Thank you @mrexperienciado this would help me also to keep on learning about life. It would be a big contribution for me as an individual.
It's good to have a sister like her, a hug will make everything alright
