Eighteen 04/11/25

    I turned 18 this past week.

I am no longer a child, and that honestly makes me sad. When I was little, I was also scared of having Birthday parties because I feared that people would not show up and that I would be alone on my birthday, but as I have grown, I have enjoyed my Birthdays and Birthday parties more and more. 
So on my big 18, I originally was going to do something small, but as I was lying down in my bed, I realized that I should do something because I might not get to do something some time again. It was getting close to the week that I could do something, so I had to figure out the details right then and there. I looked up places to go to and I was getting nothing, so I went to my trusted friend (chatgbt) and asked for cute restaurants for birthdays, and I was recommended La Parisienne French Bistro, which was so pretty, so I invited my friends and decided to have it there. I sent out my party text message because no one does invitations through the mail anymore, and that is honestly sad because I love receiving mail. The plan was all in motion now. My mom bought me a cookie and an ice cream cake, which I needed. It was the night before prom, so I was worried that people might be unable to attend, but everyone did. I did spray tan right before the event, so I smelled like spray tan, which was a little strange.
I ordered the spicy pasta, and it was delicious. My actual birthday is on April 7th, but I decided to have my dinner on April 11th, on a Friday. It was perfect. I also ordered this delicious mango mocktail; I want more now. Mango is one of my favorite fruits. We took a lot of photos because I love taking pictures. I love capturing the moment but living in it, so when it is time for cake and to make a wish, this is probably my least favorite part. It's awkward waiting for people to finish singing the song, but I love blowing out the candles and making a wish. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a wish at my birthday dinner, but on my real birthday, I did. I would share what I wished, but that would mean it would not come true if I did. Another thing I dislike is opening gifts in front of people I don't know. I just don't like doing so. I went home and opened my gifts, which I loved every single one of them. I appreciate everything and anything someone gives me because they all took time to provide me with a gift, and whatever they gave me reminded them of me, which is beautiful. One thing that people associate me with is Butterflies, and I love this because I love butterflies. Back to my birthday, I'll post about butterflies and explain why they are my favorite one day. I originally had it only for an hour, 6-7, but it lasted until 8 because it was so much fun. I have grown to love birthday parties, and going to people's. I tag the location if you guys are curious about the place. This might have been one of my favorite birthday parties, and I look forward to many more. The big 1,8 my brother called me and was sad because the time flew by so fast and honestly,y time will just keep flying. -Sophia out
