Dearest me, I congratulate myself and wish me a happy birthday for growing a year older. It is always nice to be in my company because I am such a fun-loving person. It amazes me how I can perfect the art of putting smiles on the faces of people around me.
Firstly, I would like to thank myself for coming to celebrate this milestone with me. I am not one to come out and give speeches, this is the first for me. I usually would shy off, though I feel today is when it must be done.
Let’s face the truth. Some of us forget a birthday, but there is no way I could forget my birth date.
To all of you, beautiful people here, who took time off your busy schedules to attend the birthday celebration of my beloved self, I say, “Thanks for being so wonderful to me.”
You are all here because, in one way or another, you have been a part of my life and molded me into the writing person I am today. I would genuinely like to thank you all for that.
Blurred vision, stumbling, and slurred speech used to be signs of a wild night out. It turns out I just needed to get old enough to feel drunk all the time.
Oye!
I can’t believe I am (much incoherent mumbling going on over here) ….. old. I think it’s about time I started acting more serious and more… ahem … my age… Well, maybe after tonight… Well, maybe never.
You might call me over the hill or more than halfway there, but the truth is that I’ve been on this earth for longer than I care to admit. That sounds like a long time, and it is.
So, everybody, grab a glass of champagne, and let’s turn this music up because I’m pretty sure you will all agree that after all these years and crazy memories, who would have known I would have made it this far?
Parting words
I hope I get everything I wished for and more. I deserve all the best on my special day. Wishing me love, laughter, and lots of happiness.
Thank you all for coming, and I hope you enjoy my celebration.
Thank you!
And thank you for being here. Means a lot!
