So my birthday is coming up
I don't know if anyone else feels this way about their birthday, but I'm seriously dreading mine. I guess I don't want to be reminded that I'm growing up. I don't know anymore. And that's the problem. I don't know and I'm growing up to face the world and I have to know something about anything, so I can take the first step in a good, general direction in adulthood. Then everyone in my family is making a big deal about my birthday because they want to celebrate it, which is fine with me. (Technically, it is a holiday.) But I don't want to make a big deal about my birthday. Honestly, I have other things to worry about at the moment instead of being another year older. Ha, guess I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit, aren't I? Sorry...

Hey! How old are you turning? You must be excited! The only reason why I get excited is because of the food!
ReplyDeleteI'm turning 18 on Christmas and yeah for me that's a really good reason to be excited besides the spending time part with family and friends.
DeleteI feel the same way about my birthday. The most annoying thing is that I have to be someone I'm not (or rather, a more watered-down version of myself)around my extended family because they expect me to act a certain way. Every visit is more like an inspection. And then, of course, there's the old people sitting around in a circle deciding how many kids I'm going to have in the next seven years.
ReplyDeleteAlso, congrats on not dying. I know it can feel like your family is trying to make it about them, but you have to remember what it's really for. The party is to celebrate your life and the amazing person you've become. It can be easy to forget that with all the festivities.
Yeah, I get that.
DeleteThanks. I try to keep that in mind, but my inner negativity always wins out and drowns out the slight positivity of everything.
