Ladies and germs, the day has finally arrived.
Today marks the thirty-one-day celebration of my existence. Technically the official day is the seventeenth, but for the last ten years I haven't let that stop the party.
Ten years ago...
I turned fifteen and had the big "festa de debutantes", which is the Brazilian equivalent of a sweet sixteen. We call it a debu for short. Since that time, my family has celebrated each others’ birthdays for days, for weeks, and eventually for the whole month.
First Adventure...
I do it every two months and will be eligible to do it again on the week of the actual day of my birthday.
Here are a few clues to help you.
I was awarded a pin for it
Most people afraid of needles avoid it
It saves lives
They classify me as O-
They typically give away t-shirts
I am a couple of donations away from a “two gallon” pin
Think Big Red Bus!
Blood Drive. You got it!
I have been donating my blood and anyone else I can convince to come with me since 2006. I was inspired by them in high school. Our small school of 2,000 students or so had the highest percentage of donors.
Cannot forget my dear friend @undeRGRound
He very generously purchased my shirt for my birthday. Please go show his page some love!!! You can read more about my shirt by clicking HERE.
Thank you @miraimage & @dbzfan4awhile
Much to my surprise, they sent me surprise gift! I LOVE my Jubby-wubby-kubby-kub cup/jar. It has pink and my name on it! I use it every day while thinking about my beautiful friends and their generosity.
Birthday suit on the loose!
Dinner with my girlfriend and her beautiful baby to start the celebration right! The first of the month is usually started with the end of my mama's birthday. Mommy purchased my dressed. So, to celebrate the last day of her September Birthmonth and begin mine, I wore her gift!
Thank you, Mama!
I will be twenty-six years old.
Twenty-five was so beautiful and fun. I can only imagine the fun this next year will be. I do hope you will join my mad house celebration. I am sure you will smile with me.
Truth be told, I struggle the most with negativity and depression during the month of October. I use my birthday as a distraction to survive it by choosing to be grateful each day. I believe my twenties are the best years of my life.
To be young. To be beautiful. To be healthy. To be fully employed. To be loved.
These are the true gifts of life.
Every year, there is so much pain, loss, and frustration. However, every day that we are gifted with life should be celebrated. We have made it another year, my friends. Let’s light a candle and warm up our vocal cords! It's time for the birthday song!

Happy Birthday to you my friend. So glad you are now joining the older crowd on here. 26 is a mile marker you know! Lol.
You have been a great inspiration to me here on steemit. I feel fortunate to be able to get to know you.
Many good things coming your way this year. Enjoy all of it!
🐓🐓
Awww, that is a very sweet comment. I smile every time I see you around. So, glad you are in the creative writing challenge. Hope all is well!
Happy Birthmonth to you! Happy Birthmonth to you! Happy Birthmonth dear Kubbyjubbywubby.....Happy Birthmonth to you!
The 20s are the best years of your life...so far! Personally, it kept getting better from there for me, so you have a lot to look forward to. :D
Yes!! Will you sing to me on air tomorrow night?!
I am lovely my twenties so far and look forward to 10 more years!
Happy Birthday, and kudos to you on being a recurring blood donor!
I only did it once, and like an idiot, I didn't rest and eat enough or drink enough after I was done. It was the closest I came to passing out. Blurry vision, ringing in my ears...yikes. I've been nervous to do it ever since but I should really suck it up, since I know better now.
Thank you the kind words and well wishes. I do hope you gather enough courage to try donating again. It's easy to forget the lives we could save by giving. So give! Let me know when you do :)
Happy b-earth-day, Kubby!! ^_^
I don't have any funny songs for this, but I do wish you the best year yet!
Thank you I look forward to your comment all month long! :hug:
Aw, that's sweet, Kubby!
Well, hit me up if I can gift you a private reading for your solar return. (I also just posted my Oct readings, so there may have been messages for you there.)
That is very sweet of you. My Love for Jesus Christ keeps me from finding these readings very useful, but thanks for the offer! So glad to see you around and in discord. How are you liking it so far?
Well, you're welcome. Interesting about Jesus, I find many people who also love Jesus to find oracles helpful and never correlate the two together or separately, personally.
I really like discord chat. It is my fave and find it full of many awesome and helpful people, just like you.
I used to find it too, but slowly lost interest in it all together. However, my joy only increases when I see you in discord! Welcome welcome welcome!!!
Happy Burfday gurl!!
Love your cute jumpsuit 💓💓💓
Thank you so much. I hated it at the store, so glad mama bought it for me nonetheless :)
I ❤️ 💕 💝 the monkey thank you!!
Thanks KUbb , hope your day was well celebrated?
