Birthday

There are many ways people celebrating their birthday. Some choose to do it with their friends, some with their family, some with their own existence (don't get me wrong, I mean it as a self-closure, not even a sign of narcism). Some will do it with respect and fully alert of their achievement or failure in the past years. Some will do it with no care about the world.

Well .. whatever our choice is .. birthday is the best time to be ourselves. To do whatever we want to do. To dream about anything we didn't dare to dream before. Give ourselves a break, a slack. It's a day for us to be very happy. To feel young, eventhough our age cannot lie. @)-->-----

Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old. ~Franz Kafka~

Quote from Jul: "whatever our choice is .. birthday is the best time to be ourselves" ..... yup, yup, yup... very true...

Birthday just passed me two weeks ago... it feels that when it comes to birthday time, feeling of happiness & freshness always around (maybe it's temporary for the day only, maybe it last for a week or so), no matter what the condition is in that specific day, when we have more money to throw on the 'birthday celebration', or when we don't have any money at all...

For me, no matter how i enjoy the sensation & the xtracare of people around me greet me with the birthday wishes, or even throw me the 'birthday celebration',
My Best & Favorite Moment is always
'the birthday time with myself' ~ usually before going to bed,,, :::
time to stop, rewind, refresh, and think for a while, how's my life for the past year which just went by, the achievement or even the failure, thankful for how's my life turn to be or even vice versa ...
