Since my aunt passed away and since I am recovering from some heavy issues, I have decided to no longer celebrate my birth birthday, Sep. 7.

My new birthday is on February 21, 2011.

I will still turn 44 on Sep. 7, but all I will do is thank my mother for giving me my life.

But Feb. 21 2011 was the day that I chose to no longer consciously follow any more abusive messages or take any more cr*p from people.

I truly was reborn that day.

So that's my new birthday.

(mods, if this is not in the right place, please move it. thanks, Billi)

thanks.

last night I still felt the anticipation (today is my birth birthday) even though I had nothing to look forward to, like a party or dinner.

One day I hope that goes away.

My roommate said he wants to take me out for dinner tonight but I am afraid he will punk out again and go to sleep.

Ani said he would take me out if that happened.

Today is a mourning day, not a celebrating day. My aunt is dead, my mother is dead, no one to celebrate with. No family. today I mourn the loss of my aunt, abuser or not. Today I mourn the loss of simply not having parties anymore, not having friends anymore because of my d**n bpd. Not having a husband anymore, too.

But my real celebrating day will be in February. Because that was the day I changed. The day that I let go of the way my aunt treated me.

Today I am 44.

Thank you for my life, Mother. At least I know you wanted me.

Billi

thank you for everything everyone!

I had a pretty good day.

Went to the beach---finally got really hot here in So CA! thank goodness no fires here (crossing fingers) now.

Dunked myself in the water---still too cold lol!

Did not go to dinner---too tired---Bruce was also tired.

Going to bed now.

Dentist appt tomorrow---ick!

life goes on.

I know that February 21 will be much better because it will be a day I WANT to celebrate.

I changed my "rebirthday" to Feb 16, cause I got the date wrong. That was really the day things changed.

Ani and I are going to spend the week celebrating.

It is truly a revolution against the bad voices in my head, against the insanity. I still have far to go, but it is important to know how far we have all come, too.
