Birthdays!

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.
