What's the point of celebrating a birthday? It's just another ordinary day, only you're a year older. I mean it's not like we celebrate being a day older, or an hour older.
Even so, I think I'm being told something by always having bad luck on my birthday. Like a couple years ago when there was a tornado here on my birthday, or last year when everyone forgot. This year I was alone on my birthday. I woke up and no one was there, I spent the day at home by myself, then at 10 at night my dad finally got home from work.
Oh, and my birthday isn't today, I just felt like saying this for some odd reason.

My birthday (today) plain and simply sucked, I woke up at 10 to get ready for work, went to work at 11 AM, turns out it's the busiest day of the year, so 13 hours later I'm home and about to quit my job.

You think you have bad luck, a school got shot up on my birthday and 2 people died(not my school but in the same county) Some of you might of heard of the Santana School Shooting, that happened on my birthday >.<

Yeah, birthdays are sentimental things. but birthdays are not of any sentimental value for you. thats a personal choice..
Same with me, I dont care about birthdays. I wont celebrate my own. BUT. when i have kids i will celebrate theirs until they dont want to anymore. Just like i hate theme parks, id go there if i had kids. There are alot more important things in life more important than birthdays, and our true birthdays are 7-9 months after the actual time we are born.. Heart beat, brain activity, we dont NOT age inside the womb. so wtf.. i say. if anyone has the accurate day of conception. celebrate that, birth is not a very happy day for the woman, its like " Oh look honey its been a year since your horrible pelvis splitting trauma lets do something special" conception is actual birth. .......Im bored. | |
Don't forget your birthday is the first day your parents actually get to see you. I the love and whatnot kinda overcomes the womans pain.

birth is not a very happy day for the woman, its like " Oh look honey its been a year since your horrible pelvis splitting trauma lets do something special" Birth is not a very comfortable day for a woman, I'll grant you that, but most women remember the births of their children as high points in their life. I saw my mother on the days she gave birth to my younger brother and sister, and "radiant" is the word I would use. Birth involves a lot of pain, but as with most painful things, that just means it feels really good when it's over. If your above description is how your mother viewed the birth of her children, it might go a long way towards explaining a few things... but if it were true in a general sense, our species would be long since extinct. | |
It's more of a sentimental thing -- you can look back on your accomplishments of the past year, and make new ideas for what you'll accomplish the next year. It's not the day that counts; it's the year that counts.
Except as in your case (I do doubt that your family could have ever forgotten your birthday -- I forget how old my mom is, but I definitely remember her birthday), it's also about having your friends and family recognise how much of a better person you've become. Basically, it's a day to reflect on your life, and a day in which everyone who knows you tries to give you a break from the tedium of your daily fare and make things special.
Don't worry about having a bad birthday, either -- it's the year that matters, so focus on making that good.
