Something that surprised me and made me happy was when my friends threw me a surprise birthday party last year. I had no idea they were planning it, and it completely caught me off guard.
On the day of my birthday, I thought it would be a quiet evening at home. One of my friends invited me out for coffee, and while we were chatting, they insisted we go back to their place to grab something they “forgot.” When I walked into their house, all my close friends jumped out shouting “Surprise!” The room was decorated with balloons and banners, and they even got me a cake with my favorite flavor.
I was overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude. It made me feel so special to know that my friends had gone out of their way to organize everything. It reminded me how lucky I am to have such thoughtful people in my life. That day remains one of my happiest memories.
