It's My Birthday.

It's my birthday, and it seems like there should be something more to say. The truth is, this has not been my favorite day. My body turned on me, after days of feeling pretty good. And while already feeling a little down, some family drama cropped up.

I wish I knew how to be confrontational and clearly state my issues/needs/boundaries without the other person getting mad. I don't guess it's possible with two weak, fallible human beings involved. Conflict is inevitable. Feelings will be hurt. Hearts broken. Will she really hear what I am saying? Will I hear her?

So ... it's my party, and I'll cry if I want to ...
