My Dear Fe,

Happy Birthday... Again. Were you really surprised?

Surprises are awesome, aren't they? I mean one moment you're just there and the next you're like whoa. It's funny how life is so full of them. At almost every second, people surprise us, circumstances surprise us, we surprise ourselves.

It's a wonderful feeling. Of course, sometimes, some realizations are very thought-provoking, but they're not really sad, reflective, yes. Sad, not really. But all in all, surprises are wonderful. They allow you to see or feel something that you didn't realize you would feel at that moment or ever.

Surprises are a lot like love. Love in and of itself is surprising. How it begins. How it ends. And even the middle parts surprise you with how it plays out. The beginning part is the best though... How you're sometimes just sitting there minding your own business and then suddennly voila. Surprise! Love's here.

And you know what? It's not only the Eros type of love. The platonic type of love surprises you, too.

If I remember correctly, I met you on my birthday... Y'all surprised me, do you remember that? Who'd have thought that from that day, a year later, we'd still be friends, who actually relate to what the other is feeling... The circumstances are different, but the feelings remain the same.

It's nice to know that eventhough, I'm just sending these words out into the world, someone is able to relate. The feeling alone part of being single kind of lessens when that happens and so for that and a lot more I thank you.

Thank you for surprising my life with love and friendship, my dear. May your life be filled with a billion PLEASANT surprises. ...May one of them be a fabulously PLEASANT man. Haha. I kid. Happy birthday, love! God bless you!


As Always,
D.
