Just another day. I rarely get anything, anyways.

I need a cake for my birthday, and I'm good.

Yup. My birthday I do whatever I want.

But then I try to do that every other day too

A surprise birthday party (specially if I secretly find they are preparing one) would be nice.

I would enjoy my birthday more if I actually did anything out of the normal routine, but it's pretty much just another day to me. The holidays are different because I actually have family gatherings, even though they too have slowed down over the years.

Sometimes I enjoy it, and do something special, other times, I really don't care ! Ha

I do celebrate and enjoy my birthday with my family. My mother died at 55 and my father at 46, so I try to make the best of every birthday. I will be having extra special celebrations when I turn 47 and 56.

Once I reached adulthood I tried not to care much about my birthday because no one would plan anything for me and I would get all butt-hurt about it. I have since learned that is just my lot in life - I am at the reigns and if I want to celebrate and have a good time it's on me. Now I plan my own birthday shenanigans and enjoy my day instead of ignoring it.

It was fucking shit this year but normally its just another day.
