Birthdays

Birthdays are a weird concept in the first place, like "You came out of the womb this day, this many years ago, lets party!" I'm not complaining about it, because I'm one of those people that absolutely love celebrating their birthdays. I'm just saying it's weird. 

There are a lot of different views with people when it comes to birthdays;

• The ones that take up every second of birthday fame because they LOVE their birthday.
• The ones with horrible past experiences, causing them to hate their birthday. 
• The ones that generally enjoy their birthday, but they enjoy other days better. (i.e. Christmas)
• The ones that are neutral, if it's good it's good, if it's bad, no big deal.
• The ones that hate everything that is birthdays. Making everyone around them not look forward to theirs. 
• The rest of the people that just don't even realize it's their birthday. 

And I love my birthday, some years I have countdowns until my birthday, and other years I'm not excited. But it's always a day that I will enjoy regardless of what I did. And some times the years where I don't do that much for my birthday are the ones that I remember most because of the little things. This year I was not looking forward to my birthday at all. But thanks to my family and the few friends that I had here, they made me enjoy my birthday way more than I ever expected. 

So, to everyone that was there for me on my 19th birthday, thank you.

P.S. turning 19 is super lame because you get no new benefits in life. 

P.P.S. Especially after a huge bundle of years (excluding 14 and 17) that you gain a new benefit in life, having no new benefits with 19 is kind of a let down. I want to be able to do something new that I couldn't do before!
