Seventeen, a strange age

Oh my goodness.

I feel like-
Like a spoilt kid. I don't know how blessed I am.

Goodness-
Just yesterday I had written up here what I've always been secretly wishing for,
And it happened.

It happened today guys.
I mean- how wonderful is that?

My parents never plan surprises.
It's just not the way things are,
Just like how we don't give or receive presents in our family.
But this year they'd surprised me with a surprise gift- a pinkish bunny half my size, who flops around, that has a head too big for its body and legs too stout and short in proportion to its body.
Mum had known that I'd wanted it but didn't want her to spend money on it.. And so she had gotten it. For me.
The recording of the birthday song showed how,
When I had my eyes squeezed shut making a wish,
My little brother had run past with a flash of pink in his arms,
And hidden it in my room.
Then
He had bounced his way up to me with a toothy grin-
Chocolate cake and fudge stuck between his teeth,
A ring of brown around his lips,
Exclaiming, 'surprise!'
Dad didn't express himself well as usual
And mum tells me that all she wants is for me to be happy.

Must be tough,
Parenting a kid like myself, who is emotional as heck.

Then,
On whatsapp people from drama had remembered my birthday.

I can't believe it..
I honestly cannot fathom how just yesterday I had (kinda) hoped for something like this,
And I had gotten it.

Goodness.
Thanks ma and pa.

I know I'm extremely flawed and difficult to deal with,
So thank you so much for all of this..

My goodness, how could my wishes have come true?!
