I've always had it in my head that a person's birthday should always be special. Being born so close to Christmas, things aren't always special. I have a couple of friends who usually make me feel wonderful on my day but they are far away right now (S. Korea and NY). My mom's busy taking care of my grandma, my dad may not even remember, and my brother is working. We won't even get into the situation with "the boo." I feel like it's selfish of me to desire for tomorrow to be special, but at the same time I feel like birthdays SHOULD be special. A person should feel like a king/queen on his/her birthday, and it's rare that I've achieved that feeling. It would be nice to be pampered and cuddled for a change on my day, instead of just feeling like it's any other day of the year and pretending to just enjoy the day.
Don't take that as a complaint though. I've been very blessed these 27 years, I'm glad to be here, and I do love life. I will be sure however, that even if I'm alone, 30 will be fabulous. And I know when I have kids, especially if they are born in December, I'll try to make their birthdays special until I'm too old to move, and the same for my husband. Until then, y'all enjoy the eclipse and shit. I'm going to bed, AFTER I hit my birfday dougie... in my snuggie.
