My birthday is less than a week away and it doesn't feel like it's time for it yet. I'm too busy, too tired and too stressed to care much. When I start to plan stuff for it I realized that a bunch of my friends will be away. Twenty-two isn't a big birthday anyway so it's hard to get too excited about it, but it also feels like it's part of the whole growning older thing, birthdays just aren't special anymore. There won't be streamers, or presents with bows, or even colored roses on my cake (there will be chocolate roses, but it's not quite the same). I'm not really even expecting any cards. My aunts have mostly stopped sending them, my great-aunt doesn't really know when my birthday is anymore I don't think and my grandma has passed on.

Ok now that's done with I need to stop being mopey and meloncoly and self-pitying, be happy I'm having another birthday and start figuring out what more I need to order before school starts.

I found that after 21, the next Birthday (capital B) is 25, and then 30, probably, and then I think it goes by 10's. Growing up you not only have people more likely to emphasize your birthday, but you also have more milestones: When you're very young, every year is a lot, then you have the double digit milestone, then the teenage milestone, then 16, then 18, then 20 and 21....

Hey hun,

I'll be around for your borthday. I wasn't particularly into my birthday in June either so I understand the feeling. Cheer up and maybe you'll be surprised!
