Hey, Bonjour! welcome back to carleeyyxo :)
So a few days ago, I've finally turned sixteen!! I definitely had the sweetest sixteen I could ever imagine. Everything was just so surreal and amazing. I'm just going to briefly summarize the wonderful events. I had a little picnic whilst watching over the sunset the night before my actual birthday (Saturday). The sunset was so so incredible and the atmosphere was too (not as incredible as the people who were there though). We had cute little chats and random photo shoots and it was a lot of fun!
The following day I volunteered to help with a school fundraiser in the morning, and everyone there sang me happy birthday, it was so lovely of them but I had no idea what to do haha. I spent the afternoon with a few pals just at the park and being totally spontaneous :) Monday started off as a normal school day but throughout the day I got so many surprises. I received a bunch of balloons and so many gifts, as well as flowers and many birthday wishes. It was just so unexpected and I was so overwhelmed by all the love.
Speaking of love, I just wanted to remind y'all that love can come in so many different ways. Just because you don't have a 'significant other' does not mean you're not loved, nooooo! There are so many people who love you, I promise. I've learnt that from experience (haha I sound so old saying that). Please remember to appreciate the people around you who give you their time, who put in their effort to talk to you, listen to you, check up on how you're doing and who are happy for your achievements, etc. including your parents. Also, just let them know you appreciate and love them, it's a small act that can create a huge impact :)
Anyway, here are a few photos from my birthday..

This birthday has honestly been the sweetest, most amazing birthday ever and I can't thank everyone enough for all their effort and loving gestures. I just want to wrap them into a big bear hug to express my gratitude and appreciation towards them.
I hope you all know how much people love you and also - I know this is really cliche but - learn to love yourself. I hope your days are always filled with love and joy and all things good.
Love, Carley xx
