| | here's my deal with birthdays, i get depressed when mine rolls around. not because of the aging process, in fact, i like getting older cause all my friends are mostly older than i am and it makes me feel like i'm catching up with them. but because it just feels so weird for me. i get depressed because of the fact that i'm not used to feeling special. its weird to me. maybe it was growing up with not so much encouragement (and i think alice can attest to this). wow, what a depressing entry eh? but i have a point, i promise. it makes me sad to think that when the day is over, the encouragements, the people you haven't seen or talked to in a long time, the good deeds, are all over for another year. what if, and please tell me if this is crazy, but what if the encouragements went on the entire year? what if random acts of kindness continued past a person's birthday? wouldn't that be awesome? what if you told someone how much they mean to you not only on their birthday? i think that'd be awesome and so encouraging. that way, people would feel special and encouraged the whole year and not on one specific day that they look forward to and then is gone.
sorry for the rant, but it just really grinds my gears and i couldn't quite figure out what made me feel this way on my brithday for so many years. plus it gives me an excuse when i forget your birthday 
let's be more encouraging brothers and sisters! and that's what it is.
edit:
so while at work at 5:30 in the a.m. i told my coworkers that it was my brithday. and while we were tired, we decided to make the most of it. they made me a hat, a birthday hat:
the hat is made completely of things found at starbucks with random well-wishes on the sides and back. and a random pokemon quote on the side. hahaha. and this is what i look like with the hat on, i wore it all morning:
happy birthday to me!
