When I was a young child, I anticipated my birthday celebrations. Since it was not a family tradition, I slowly extinguished that desire. I never knew which years would be celebrated and which years would be met with silence. It was easier not to anticipate than to be disappointed. Gradually, it became a win if nobody remembered it was my birthday on the actual day.
Privately, I am often happy to be alive to reach another milestone. I celebrate in my mind and private emotions.
Prompt:
As you have gotten older, do you still celebrate your birthday, or has it become just another day to you?
