Birthday's and Excitement Galore

Am I the only one who is abit extra excited about Birthday’s ???

Ain’t we need a day dedicated to celebrate ourselves and feel special from the odd 364 days which just pass by either achieving, running, drowning or hustling through the monotony of life..

Since childhood, I’ve been over fascinated just to feel special on birthdays…

I don’t know why???

Is there a reason that nobody makes me feel special on this day and that’s the reason I demand this for myself from others in my head. Fortunately, my parents have celebrated me and I’m really thankful for that as they are ones who love and care for me the most. There have also been times and circumstances when I’ve been really sad due to some unfortunate circumstances which happen around the birthday month and I just don’t feel like even thinking of doing something, and at one of my birthday’s my mother couldn’t even wish me, cellphones were not a regular thing then. This memory is quite prominent, there have been many birthday’s when I didn’t even cut a birthday cake. I don’t have any fond memories of mine from my school either, than distributing sweets to my classmates and wearing something nice.

However, I do remember once my father throwing a birthday party for me when I was really young and later my mother taking my family out for dinner where I dressed up and this was beyond happiness for me.

When I joined college, none of the years did I celebrate according to what I used to see people around me do. In the 1st year of my post-graduation few of my batch-mates gave me a surprise early morning as I had an exam the same day and this has been my best birthdays till date with so much of warmth and they definitely made me feel Special.

After learning and unlearning life, and with the bitter sweet memories around birthday’s. I’ve realized that why do I wait for someone else to do things for me which I dreamt off. Rather, choose to do it for yourself. Since two years I’ve been doing stuff which I’m really fond off and which make me really happy. Adopting the mechanism to replace the bad memories with some amazing ones in my own small way.

I celebrate and make me feel special about myself on my birthdays. So should you, love yourself and celebrate yourself like no other :)
