My Birthday is just another day. Part 2

How my 22nd Birthday started: with me taking a hot shower for half an hour at 12.00 a.m.

How I spent my 22nd Birthday: by driving my family around for my cousin's engagement.

How my 22nd Birthday ended: with me eating my late dinner alone in the kitchen.

That sums up my 'special' day for 2014.

No gifts, no party, no celebration. Nothing. Heck, its 2013 again. Wait, no. It's 2013, 2012 and the list goes on. Exactly a year ago, I wrote a post about my depressing birthday and it amused me that I can copy paste what I wrote and just change the date. Because I feel exactly the same.

Okay, maybe this year ain't that bad. A bit better than last year, but its not good also. Its still sad though. My cousin's engagement was today, so I spent the day celebrating it in accordance with our cultural norms. I'm happy for him, but I can't help feeling sad too. Being in a room full of people, family members to be exact, but all the attention was for someone else. A small short celebration or wish would suffice. But nothing really. So I sat in the corner, letting others shine in a time where I deserve some attention too. But its okay, I'll step back. Not my special time, not my day. There was a lot of dramas too, but that's too private to share here, but it didn't help to brighten up my day.

I also have friends whom I share birthdays with. I can see through their FB post, tweets and Instagram that they're having a great time. That's good. Am happy for them.Hopefully, one day, I can be celebrated like them maybe? I know I seem to be emotionless but, I really am not. And I know that if people I know read this, they might make fun of me, mock me for being too emotional or making a big deal out of nothing. Well, sorry, this is how I feel, so I don't and won't care bout what you say.

Lastly, I'm a bit surprised that I have unknown readers reading my birthday post. And here's a comment about my 2013 post, not more than 24 hours ago.

I googled this because today is my bday, and I'm spending it exactly the way you spent yours. Except I'm alone don't even have anyone else here with me. It's funny, I could describe myself the exact same way that you described yourself. Isince our beats are a day apart, it must be the Aquarius in us.

I hope your bday tomorrow goes better than last year, and than mine did today.

Well, Happy Birthday to you Heather. Thanks for reading my post. Hope you'll find happiness in days to come and may our luck change in the future. Would be nice to chat with someone like you though :)

So yeah, hopefully, by being 22 years old, I'll be mature, wiser and may God shower me with his blessing.
Here's to hopefully a good year ahead and maybe, no more depressing post
