It is not a happy birthday, but it is one I am most thankful for. Several months ago, it was not a guarantee I would make it to this day, so there is positivity to that. I paid all my medical bills from the many offices and machines I frequented. There is positivity in that. And, I do find it amusing that people believe anyone but me paid for my medical expenses. I was going to wait a couple weeks, but I think it&#8217;s time to look toward the future, forward-march as I like to say. I am capable of so much more and I can&#8217;t wait to see what it looks like properly. I have a wide array of interests and abilities &#8230; I also consider myself to be rather open-minded. Here&#8217;s to a future that, for all intents and purposes&#8230;.seems limitless.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you for all the positivity that has been dropped on me the past few days as well as the birthday wishes.
