I had a birthday coming up. People were starting to ask me what I would like to get for a present or what I would like to do.

I was having a weird reaction to it.

“I don’t know.”

Finally, last night it hit me. I don’t want to decide. I don’t want to feel like I am planning it. I don’t want to pick my gift. I don’t want to make or order my own cake.

I do not want to decide.

*Giving a gift is an opportunity to show the person that you care about, that you see who they are.*

That you are paying attention to the little things that light you up.

That you see what they tend to wear when they are having one of their happy days, and what flowers you see them buy for themselves.

Try paying attention to the people around you.

It is always my mission to make a person cry, with the gift I give them.

Something that will make them feel seen, heard and loved.

Isn’t that the best gift after all?

P.S. Do not ask me what I want for my birthday.
