It's my birthday. There, I said it. I'm a whole year older. Yay me!
For as long as I can remember it's been treated as just another day, and even if plans were made they always ended up cancelled or forgotten. I get it, life happens. In the grand scheme of things I am not that important, and I know it. It's like Spock says "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one". Sometimes it still hurts though.
That could be why I threw myself into work harder than normal this week, even agreeing to stay late Saturday morning to help out. I'd rather spend my time helping others sitting at home with my thoughts anyway.
I need to get out of this funk. Does anyone want to share a favorite birthday tradition or memory?
