I rarely feel inclined to make my birthday a big hooha. In fact, I never really saw the point of making such a big deal about it. Of course, to a certain extent, I still enjoyed it (I mean, c’mon, PRESENTS!). But like I said, never saw the need for making a big grandeur event of it. And I think the cause of this is that I used to think Birthdays were meant for celebrating the day you were born. I guess I just didn’t understand why you’d want to celebrate something that happened so long ago. Instead of celebrating a day that happened so long ago, why don’t we celebrate the ardous year that we just had? Why not celebrate the amount we’ve grown, the amount we’ve gained, the amount we’ve lost? Because like it or not, you aren’t the same person you were 1 year before on your birthday. Shouldn’t that deserve some recognition?
On that note, and with that perspective on birthdays in mind, I’d very much like to make my birthday this year somewhat special. But I’m pretty broke and I doubt I have enough time to save since its coming up in a few weeks time. Sigh… such is life.
