Birthday
I'm not going to be maudlin today...I'm going to try not to let myself get affected by everything that happens 10 times over just because it's my birthday. I'm going to try to just let this day happen. I'm going to do my best for my own relative sanity and peace of mind...to just let things go - so no playing "Black Celebration" by Depeche Mode or..."Unhappy Birthday" by Morrissey...I'll be kind to the half-ass gestures of well meaning friends and family.....and not dwell on all the troubles in my life moreso just because it's my birthday. and I'll try to not condemn all those family and friends who forget that it's my birthday as well...even if they may deserve to be yelled at for some reason or another...I will try. and finally...even if not ONE soul wishes me a happy birthday today...I will try to have one nonetheless.
