A year ago I asked for advice about having feelings for my best friend. Girls here told me to tell him, I didn’t listen to you. Time went by and it did happen. He is still my best friend besides now being my boyfriend.

My parents were always traveling during my birthday and I have always complained about not having had a special one ever.

Well I arrive to his house and my friends were there. There was a bulletin board of copy pasted images of me doing the job my friends though5 I would have when I grew up (that was number 1 birthday). Playlist changed and my 5th birthday started, with crafts and games. Playlist changed and my 10th begins with musical chairs with office chairs, a ice cream make your own sundae bar was opened, a piñata dressed as Pablo Escobar came up and only I was allowed to hit it so I could let go of the PTSD for having been a victim in his time.

Music changes again, Latin quinceañera music begins and my crown comes, champagne. Then again new music, jelly shots, pizza and my 21st birthday. Then he brings out cheese and bread and nice drinks for my 30th.

The best birthday ever. The advantage of falling I love with your best friend.

He is not normal romantic, he never says cute things, but he does the most amazing unexpected things for me that make me melt.
