Impending awesomeness
Ok so my birthday is coming soon. And family, coworkers etc keep asking about it.
I wouldn’t say I hate birthdays. I do love celebrating other peoples. But my own, always tended to be a bit disappointing for a variety of reasons. So for the past 15 years or so I’ve let it all go and it’s another day. Yet in doing so it’s become more about the number. Now I will be 25, “your life is ¼ to 1/3 over”. Great, awesome, I feel fabulous.
So my new revelation from now forward. Birthday= celebration of myself. For myself. So even if everyone sucks and no one wants to celebrate with me. My mother will at least call me. (Even if my grandparents forget. Mom’s can’t help but to remember.) So even if it is disappointing I’m still awesome. I will celebrate me even if it isn’t “legend-ary” (as Barney (HIMYM) would stay).
And now when people ask, maybe I should say “I’m celebrating my awesomeness so suit up!”
So happy soon to be birthday to me. By me.
