today's my birthday.

Maybe the real happy ending is falling in love with the simplest parts of life.
It's savoring that first sip of coffee in the morning, or losing yourself in the smell of freshly baked bread. It's driving down familiar roads with the windows down, letting the air mess up your hair while your favorite song fills the car. It's lingering on a quiet afternoon, reading the pages of a book you've put off for too long, letting each word wrap around you like an old friend. These moments — the ones that seem so ordinary — hold a kind of magic that fills the cracks we sometimes forget are there.
And maybe, just maybe, it's finding a piece of joy in small things we often take for granted. Like the laughter that comes out of nowhere, shared with a stranger in a grocery store aisle. Or the comfort of a cozy night at home, wrapped up in a blanket, watching a show you've seen a hundred times but still brings a smile to your face.
It's these little things that pull us back to life, that remind us of just how blessed we are, not because everything is perfect but because we find beauty in what we already have.
