I am indeed part of a dying breed, but I truly believe in birthdays being something special.
Although as many people grow older and their birthdays hold less and less meaning, I still strongly believe that birthdays should be celebrated.
In my eyes, it's not just an empty day that comes around once a year. It's a day of celebration, of a life.
Your birth means something, whether you realize it or not. Your presence and existence has changed lives.

Thank you for being born. Thank for being alive.
That is precisely the message that I want to send, when I celebrate someone's birthday. So whether you are 2 or 200, I am still going to celebrate your birthday. I hope you're not someone who is crazy-fanatic about expensive gifts (that I cannot afford) and I hope you're not someone with crazy-unrealistic expectations about your birthday (No, you can not push me around and be rude, because it's your birthday), but I also hope you're not so whatever about it that you do not realize that yes, you are special. Yes, you are wonderful. Yes, you are a blessing and I am grateful that I have you in my life.
So to all of those whose birthdays have passed or will come soon (which is essentially EVERYONE), Happy Birthday.
Don't let age and expectations make you jaded. Celebrate your life.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot about birthdays and about holidays and about who it is, we choose to spend these special days with, and I wanted to share my reflections. In reflecting over these ideas, I came across this post and I really identified with the author's feelings. Feel free to check it out :)
