Yesterday was my birthday and it really was weird.
The night before, I was hoping I’d be asleep by midnight because I was afraid I would stay awake to wait for phone calls. I fell asleep around 1:15 (and no phone calls).

During the day, friends & family called or texted but there were still some missing. It really is not a big deal. But, going to bed yesterday, I could not feel more alone.

And I’m afraid to tell the people I love (and who love me) this: I FEEL ALONE.
