QotD: Happy Birthday To Me
How do you feel about your birthday? Do you look forward to it and remind all your friends, or do you dread it and try to keep it a secret?
I used to care a lot about my birthday. My family would celebrate birthdays for a month or more and it was a big deal. I still enjoy the day - I don't dread any of them (and was, in fact, honestly carded when I bought a beer tonight - not bad for 36 almost 37) and think it's just a number. Age is what I feel, and, to quote Bob Dylan, "I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
Presents are nice, but I, in line with my life philosophy, expect nothing from anyone.
