I’ll never forget my birthday last year.

I’ll never forget my birthday last year. Marco, my boyfriend, planned something totally unexpected. He told me we were just having a quiet dinner, but I had no idea he was inviting all my friends. When I walked into our favorite restaurant, I was hit with a chorus of “Surprise!” Balloons and streamers decorated the place, and my friends were all there, grinning ear to ear. After the initial shock, I was overwhelmed with joy. Marco had even arranged for a custom cake that looked like a book, since I’m a total bookworm. As we sat around the table, sharing laughs and stories, I felt so loved and appreciated. The highlight was when Marco handed me a small, beautifully wrapped box. Inside was a delicate bracelet that he’d picked out just for me. It was such a thoughtful gift, and I couldn’t stop smiling all night. That birthday wasn’t just about getting older; it was about the love and friendships that surround me.
