- They are never as fantastic as portrayed, you never spend them amazingly happy - instead its a day spent reflecting.
- Most of the day is spent being fake happy just because well "it's your birthday"
- No matter how much you plan your birthday things never happen the way you want them to, so it's just easier not to plan it at all and do everything spontaneously (realistic expectations)
- Your own birthday cake is never really as delicious as other peoples
- Trying to skip your birthday and not telling people never really works out
In the end though - Birthdays always turn out to be somewhat ok just because it's your "special" day.
So - Happy Birthday to Me!
A note on this years birthday: I spent it will my closest friends, in the best way possible. It was unplanned, it just happened, and my birthday celebrations went on for a few days. It was the best birthday yet even though it was really nothing extravagant or over the top. A great start to a year of my life I have been dreading.
