Favorite month started in the worst way possible. The
unexpected happened, something we never thought would happen in this wonderful
land of ours. Some were praised, some were scrutinized, more or less the
country got divided with their own sense of opinion leaving logic behind. Yes,
it wore off like every other bad thing that has happened over the years, but in
this case too early to believe. It was
tough to find a proper title for this post, and I am not so sure whether I came
with the right one, but the right ending is always the one you choose.
Now why am I writing on ‘Birthdays’? Well, because it is one
of those days we mark in our hearts every year. We humans want to feel special
and this day sort of guarantees that. Though much depends on how much effort
people close to us put to make this day special for us as we can’t make this
day all so special on our own now, can we?
Birthday is a day, when close ones pamper you with gifts and
blessings. Some feel this special vibe throughout their life and many lose the
essence of it by the mid-20s at best. We all have an inclination towards
feeling special, like, who doesn’t like it! But what is so special about this
day? This could just be another day. Gifts? People you have been yearning to
see for so long? No, it’s the memories that come with it, the memories that one
will cherish for a lifetime, because each birthday comes with a different
celebration and trust (me) those moments are priceless.
My favorite months come one after another, July and August,
because people close to me were born in these months. From bloodlines to
infatuations, living to the dead, these months have them all. There was a time
I felt special for being ‘leo’ and the feeling is still the same even though I
laugh about it as this is just an astrological sign of the zodiac meant to
kindle life more than it is.
Back in the day when I was young, the most awaited thing on
birthday was cutting the cake. The cake was like everything; from how it looked,
how it tasted and the size of it as well. Now I hardly care about how it looks
or anything for that matter. As long as it tastes great everything else is
secondary. As we grow up the gifts change in stature, but our expectation of
gifts lessens along with it. But I am not that old and I love gifts xD, and it
will always be appreciated (for whoever is reading this :3)
Celebration also changes as we get older. Now spending time
with friends is more natural, whereas before, time spent with friends was
little and very much anticipated and loved. It is still similar but the places
have switched so has priority. But we should still make some time for our close
ones, make them a part of it because we do not know whether there will be a
next one or not.
There is this amazing trend of showing how much you adore
the person on their birthdays through social media. Like posting picture with
them, writing a caption or not writing anything at all. Just a picture that can
describe a thousand words and more. Facebook makes you feel so special, no? So
many people posting on your wall just to wish you on your birthday, quite the
feeling. Sarcasm not intended, no! Because people do it when they may not have
that chance to say it in person, that has to mean something. But the real
things always happen to you in reality not in your virtual life, when it comes
down to the latter you are not going the right way. So be more fluent and easy
going when you interact with people in person so that they can feel the same
way and are comfortable with you being around.
It’s never too late to start afresh, you never know whether
you have 1 night or a thousand more nights for that matter. So take every day
as it comes don’t let it go in vain, we are very lucky in terms of life giving
us opportunities to do better, to be better.
Resolutions are as good as anything to start anew. Make
resolutions for yourself that you can accomplish by the turn of the year.
Selfish pricks are the best of them all, with no emotion. Emotion is the thing
that holds you from being the best of yourself, less emotion you have the
better. So go out there say what you want, do what you feel and never back down
from expressing yourself in the truest way. If people get hurt that’s normal,
at least the reason is genuine enough. People who truly want you in their lives
like you the way you are otherwise they wouldn’t be there in the first place. A
burst of emotion is a good way of healing yourself, but make sure you are doing
it with the right person otherwise it can turn out to be a blasphemy.
It might be awhile till I write again, till then hope you
all have a great time and enjoy the good things in life.
