i always expect something for my birthday.
I wish i could honestly say i was unselfish. But the reality is that i feel entitled to something every year on that day.

God, help me break out of this jealousness, this fear. I keep reassuring myself that just because people fall in love doesn't mean my friendship with them will end, but it has never seemed to be a reality.
