Birthday, today.
13 years ago
General
A newfound opinion on the day of your birth.
As it currently is, people find cause to celebrate your birthday, to applaud the fact that you made it to yet another year, and give you gifts - prizes for making it farther in this morbid game.
However, I feel that, on this day, I'd like to treat it another away. Rather than celebrating that I have come a year farther, I am in mourning. Another year of my life has trickled down, dissolved into fading memories. I am a year closer to the end of days, to losing everything and everyone I hold dear to me - and the fact that our demise is of an unknown date, it could be around the corner or miles off still, leaves me with further unease that I am a whole year closer to that grim day. Gifts are not something to commemorate this distance we've managed to survive, but paltry tokens to bring a smile to your face, a weak pass at distracting you from the fact that death's cold embrace is a year closer.
Rather than the canned, forced 'Happy Birthday' that will no doubt be spewn about on this day, I would prefer, instead, if you lot would offer your condolences. Mayhap a moment of silence out of your day to offer respect to the last year of my life that lay cold in the ground, never to be reclaimed. Yes, like all, it had its glorious, radiant spots, but it is since gone and will never be again.
The last year of my life, I will miss you. Rest well, fallen time.

You know, the end is not completely an unknown date, some people know when the end shall come and ever further some could tell you when, but why think about such a thing when just doing what you can now while your still alive and thinking about the day instead of how much time has passed or how much is still yet to come. i say just enjoy each day to the fullest, because no matter how much time you have left, even if you lived to be 100+ life is still too short to waste it mourning or thinking about things yet to come.
