I will be the first to say that I have had awful acne and I ignored it for a very long time. Most of the time it was due to having chocolate which caused me to break out badly. I suffered from acne for many years, the age of 13-14 to 20. I am finally free of such awful acne and now can eat as much chocolate as I want.

My parents are nice enough to order a cake and with my specific decision to have chocolate cake. My dad makes a huge fuss about how my face is better and it will only go back to that state if I am eating chocolate.

Number 1: Excuse ME for wanting to have chocolate ON MY BIRTHDAY. I think that as a soon-to-be 21 year old I should be able to get a chocolate cake! Not to mention that I am not going to go get drunk or even have a drink. You would think he would be more concerned with me getting smashed rather than a chocolate cake.

Number 2: I have never had chocolate cake fully for my birthday except once. Is it me or am I the only one who can’t choose what flavor they want? I was only told to get marble.

You might be thinking that I should just appreciate that I can get a cake but I am not asking for that much, am I? It isn’t going to take more out of your wallet. I just want to have a chocolate cake that I can eat without having to worry about getting acne.
