QotD: Happy Birthday To Me
"How do you feel about your birthday? Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret? "
Sometimes I feel like the only twenty-something out there who really looks forward to her birthday. I will joke with family members alot that my birthday is a national holiday, or at least that i should be treated like one. I look forward to my birthday alot like a little kid, what i'm going to get, dropping hints to people about what i'd really like etc. To me it's not just about getting older, it's about celebrating a year in your life, it's about celebrating all the years you were lucky enough to have a birthday. Why else would people celebrate the day of your birth beyond the day that you were actually born if not to remember that you've made it this far? I realized the other night that this year i'm going to be twenty-five, it kind of shocked me that i'm that old (although i realize that in the grand scheme of things, it's not that old at all). It's just that there was a time in my life that the age i'm at now seemed like a million years away. And now i see what people mean when they say time flies when you're having fun but it's still fun to celebrate the years gone by.
