Birthdays... are they depressing when no one remembers, and why do we care?


Question:
Im interested to know if anyone had a birthday recently, and/or felt slighted by nearby holidays (ie. Christmas eve, July 3rd or 4th, September 10-12th).

Answers:
I have come to understand that Birthdays were my parent's way of CELEBRATING ME in their life and in our family.
I am much older now, and they are gone to heaven, and none of the younger members of my family remember mine, my husband of 22 years did not make a big deal over me, so I have just come to believe that in my early years I WAS special to my folks.
I am here for a REASON, and so I have learned to celebrate MYSELF when the time comes.
Even if no one else remembers or cares.
That is how I overcome the depressing thoughts that surround it.\
If YOU make yourself a birthday cake, then YOU get to eat it all!!!
When i hit age 30.. i was so depressed about it. To this day, i refuse to have a birthday! LOL... It's just another day. And if anyone makes a big deal out of it.. i get pissed. hahahaha....
