So, it was my birthday recently. completely forgot about it this year as I did the year before.
while I was younger, I used to look forward to it. now, I sigh as it comes and goes, and hope, pray and wish that everyone else has a better year.
its not easy to get older and looking back over the years and see only incremental improvement, if at all, I am much happier sharing the happiness others have, and the joy they have, as much as I feel sorrowful when they have awful weeks, not just days. it's partly why I want for them to not look at their birthdays as I do cause I feel everyone else deserves far better.

Happy birthday to me. and warm wishes.
