Every year, the day before my birthday I usually like to think what I have done to make it a great year. I count the simple things like making new friends and learning a new talent. It's those little things that make you realize how great you are. Every single person is special yet they just don't know it sometimes.
I don't understand why people say I don't know why I am here I should die. That's a horrible mindset to have. I believe everyone was put on this Earth for a reason and there's always someone out there that would say they miss you, if you ever left. Better yet, those people always come out on your special day. They will try to take the time to say Happy Birthday. If they don't get you anything, I wouldn't worry about it. It's the thought that counts in the end. Those gifts over the years get shoved to the back of closets or just end up in the trash. But having those true friends and knowing you are loved will last forever.
Everyone needs that date to look forward to. That date keeps you excited and optimistic rather than gloomy. The social trend is you get happier and happier as the day comes. These are great characteristics in oneself. So why not look forward to your birthday?! By one being happy, others will follow creating a snowball effect.
In the end, I love when my birthday comes. It's not about the gifts but it's about remembering all the great things I accomplished the year before, having friends call and catching up on each other lives and creating happiness all around. Life is tough but you need to have those bright spots to make it worth wild.
"A person has a lifetime. For example, a person may have lived from 1945-2007. The only thing important however is what they did during the hyphen(-). It doesn't matter at the beginning or end. The middle is what is most important. So take the time the time to think what you did during your hyphen years or life isn't dandy."
