My Birthday is just around the Corner, 23 !!! Yikes

For March 1st, 1989(in these times 2012)

There are some people in the world who see their birthday as just another day, I find that really sad. It’s not just another day. It’s your day, the day you came into the world however many years ago. I am sure that there are many people in your life who have been touched by you, by something you’ve done or said. If you weren’t there, would they have that special moment. Most likely not. Each individual helps shape and enrich another’s life and without them with their life be as full as it is? If I think about my life and the people in it… well firstly I wouldn’t exist without my parents. That is an obvious statement. But the lives of my parents were not simply created to reproduce and make me… my parents have had lives of their own and experiences that I may not have in my own, they will therefore have a wisdom and knowledge that I will not and that wisdom is something they would be able to impart to me and hopefully make my life that little bit easier.
Then if you take my friends, there are some who are just along for the ride and I think that you can work that out pretty on in your relationship, there are others however who will be your friends for the  rest of your life. They will help you through the bad times and be with you through the good. If these people weren’t around they would not have had an impact on your life and therefore they would not have made you the person that you are today. That is why birthdays are so important, you are celebrating the people in your life who influence and impact your life and they help shape who you are.


After that little ramble, which probably made no sense at all… there is a contradiction. I think people should actively celebrate their birthdays and make the most of them, yet I am loathed to turn 23 and would just like to miss out this number completely(not really but u get my drift), at least it’s another two years until I’m 25.. I think I really would burst into tears or something, if that was the age I was about to turn! There is nothing wrong with getting older, you become wiser. I just enjoyed my teenage years immensely and the first two years of my 20′s have been pretty epic too, I think you just need to read the rest of my blog to see why. Maybe it’s cynicism but perhaps after 23, the responsibility really kicks in and there is no turning back… you really are an adult! I guess I just want to cling on to being as immature as possible for as long as possible.
So turning 23 is something I’m sort of not looking forward to but slowly embracing. I just wish my mother and little brother could be here to celebrate with me as well..
 This year am throwing a girls only get together at my place, Baroque/Masquerade ball theme. Just cosy and all that glitters.

Now let’s flip this morbid posting upside down! The plus side of my birthday this year… is that it falls on a Thursday, it kick starts my weekend! And i have taken it as a leave of absence from Work. I intend to not work on my Birthday
To everyone else who has a March birthday… in fact everyone. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
