For the most part, almost all of us have these at any given time - friends and family who cheer for us, who love us, and wish us well. We sometimes forget about them in the scramble and busy-ness of the day to day. They're there - those reasons to be happy, those people who care for us. It's just not oftentimes easy to remember they're there.

With much reflection, minor fretting, moments of fleeting excitement and admittedly a few mild panic attacks, my twenty third birthday has passed with relative ease.
