A birthday post.

I realized I have never written a birthday entry on my blog. So, I am writing one now.

I am turning 31 today. It’s a big deal!!! Yep, I am one of those who gets excited on their birthdays for no reason at all, apart from the fact that it’s their birthday. Last year, I thought I am too old to be excited about something silly, so I willed myself to be deadma about it. Thus my birthday was a bit like an ordinary day. Don't get me wrong, my family and friends all remembered my day but because I was nonchalant about it, the day didn't feel special. It made me sad. I made myself sad.

I realized that I needed to be true to myself, otherwise I would not be happy (who would have guessed, huh?). I am wired to be an excitable person – something I can’t help about myself. My loved ones are used to it – they would sometimes complain about it, but accepted it as a part of me nonetheless. So why should I not give myself a break and just be myself this year?

So this year, this year I’m saying my birthday would turn out great! I don’t really need a big birthday party, just an acknowledgement (by me, most especially) that it’s my day and I am so blessed. I have lived for 31 years already, after all.

Happy birthday to me!!! :)
