And no matter what, today is not just another day.
Yes i am one year older. I doubt any wiser, and certainly not richer.
But today was the day I brought immense happiness to my parents, their firstborn and may have been out of wedlock but definitely I was born of immense love and obvious lust.
I guess that makes me special. Yes I was their pride and joy when I was smaller. I was shown off and cooed over. Photo after photo was taken of me. Kinda explains the camera shyness i have now but its ok......
I was brought up being told I was smart and intelligent, that I would go far in life, That I would always excel and be at the top of my class.
Each and every birthday thereafter was a day of confirmation that the predictions and prophecies placed over my head were well deserved.
I miss my parents now that they are passed on. I dont hear those messages anymore, I miss them too. To everyone around me, my birthday is just another day, no big deal.
Who knows if it is supposed to be that way. But for me it is the only day I know that made someone understand the meaning of love and family and responsibility, my birth did that, My life is special and I should celebrate me until the day that I die.
Keep Living Laughing and Loving!
