So, today (9th) is my birthday... Since I could remember, I had never really had a great birthday; mostly just unevenful or disappointing. I think it all stemmed from the fact that I had joint birthday celebrations with my cousin for the longest time. I had the typical middle child syndrome/lack of attention, and my birthday was the one day that I wanted all to myself but I had to share it... Fine... my cousin and I got along really well so it wasn't a problem. But that meant that there were more strangers at out parties than I liked. My family is large, very large. So our families conbined including aunts and uncles and other cousins and friends... more people to deal with than I liked. So I prefered to hide away somewhere during those parties. Then there's this thing about being sick/injured on my birthdays... One year I had a terrible fever/sore throat I couldn't even eat my cake, one year I had measles so no one wanted to come near me, one year I twisted my ankle crossing the street and nearly got hit by a car, today... well... I injured myself TWICE at work... Yeah... am I accident prone? Well I hadn't cut myself at work in a while and today I cut my hand and it was a freak accident coz I was mopping up something my colleague split when the handle snapped and sliced my hand. Then there are years where literally the only people who remembered my birthday was my family (barely) and my best friend. There was one year I thought everything was going great until my friends got into a fight that got so out of hand that the police got involved... I don't even know... maybe the universe is trying to tell me something... The thought of my birthday just brings me down but I actually like the date itself... That's not to say that nothing good ever happens either... Of course there is but I feel like something bad always brings down the mood of the entire day... Maybe the day is cursed for me but then again I was lucky enough to be born on that day... So... I'm still waiting for a year when I will have an awesome birthday but as of yet... I haven't.
