Why is it that every time a b-day comes along the people directly implicated become sad?? Is it because, the b-day is a constant reminder of the past year, or the past in general, or is it because it reminds us that the end is closer with one step and sadly unavoidable??? Maybe it’s just that some of us as we grow older, we become more aware of our age, physically and psychologically, one more than the other. Could we be sad just because another year has passed and we still haven’t managed to bring to life the dreams or the projects we had in mind, and which last year we sworn that we would accomplish by b-day??
I believe there is a b-day for each major event of our life, that includes birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, baptisms, first day of school, college, university, first kiss, first love, first sex, even first tooth that fallen. If we think about it, there are a tone of b-days, each very important to us. A b-day could be even the day you visited the first foreign country, or you learned how to swim, or ski or smoke or drink… I could go on forever, but the bottom line is that the essence of B-days is what we make of it. If we choose to have one or ten, it doesn’t really matter, as long as we make them last. Every b-day is a memory that we shall always keep it in our hearts, so even if as years go by, our plans may not always see the light of realistic, we will always have another b-day to plan ahead, for it is in our nature to never give up hopping that one day all will turn out at least OK.
After my recent b-day, and the one of a close girlfriend, I just realized that in time, as we grow up, so do our presents. For example, when you’re 20 you’ll still get stuffed animals and toys, and things that you might never use, while in your late 20′s you’ll get vibrators and closes and perfumes and stuff that you will always enjoy or use.
God knows, I sure do

So enjoy your b-day everyone, for you may have as many b-days as you wish to!!
