Barely one hour to my Birthday
This article has a very direct title and I wouldn't waste time in getting into details. I sincerely wouldn't have remembered if my Best friend hadn't reminded me about three days ago. "Any preparation?", she asked and my response was "I got no idea what you're talking about", in a very sarcastic tone. I knew what she was talking about the instant she mentioned it. I wouldn't have remembered if she hadn't mentioned but I instantly looked to my calendar and kaboom saw that we were already in the month of April. My birth month!
My birthday is barely one hour to go and I can hardly stand the wait. Same way I could hardly stand the wait last December while Christmas approached. It's not like I got anything special planned. it's simply gonna be like every other day- a very normal day. The "normal-est" day in the history of days- if such grammar exists.
Surprisingly, a female friend called me a few minutes ago and said "happy birthday in advance". Damn! "You remember too?, I asked as I was surprised. Looks like I'm becoming popular among the ladies", I thought and smiled in a very evil way. Lol! I was surprised because I'm not one to care about birthdays as I barely pay attention to such things. In fact, I don't tell my friends "happy birthday" not because I do not care but because it doesn't matter. A lot of peeps will already say happy birthday to them hence mine will be basically insignificant.- my thoughts are considered subjective. It's just a day duurh! A reminder that you're getting closer to the grave per second- a very frightening reminder.
Regardless of whether I'm getting closer to the grave or not, I'd like to say that it's barely one hour to my birthday- the 6th of April. At the time of writing this, It's 10.47 pm over here, but for those in the Philippine, it's already 5 am or so, which means they're already on the 6th. regardless of time zone, I'd be glad if you'd join me in celebrating years of struggles, pain, success, Joy and Yada Yada.
I'm glad to be alive- who wouldn't be? With everything going on in the world, being alive is a privilege which I'd not take for granted . I appreciate every moment that passes, time shared, conversations, struggles, achievements and all that.
I really don't know what to say, I just wanna say that I'm glad to be alive. All thanks to God. Life has really been unfair to me in a lot of ways but I kept on pushing through and here I am today stronger than ever with a lot of achievements at hand. Though I'm still struggling with a lot of things- depression, mental stress, finance and blah blah, Yet I've got every reason to be grateful to God!
There's gonna be no cake, no ice-cream and no celebration. I'd simply wake up tomorrow like it's a normal day hoping to be surprised by whoever or whatever cares about me. I don't think I have anyone that does so far apart from m best friend. The rest is history. Happy birthday to myself in advance!
Happy birthday to you bro.... wishing you best of luck for your next life
