Celebrate For Yourself

My birthday is on the Valentine’s Day. I have never celebrated my birthday with a boy friend. So you can imagine how excited I am on that day with him. I imagined what present he will give me and how.  But to my surprise, he only said a “Happy Birthday” to me on that day.  I was so disappointed and depressed because of this. Doesn’t he need celebrate the big day for me? Why is he so cruel and cold to me? I asked myself again and again.

 I think all of us are like that if we are honest with ourselves. We want to be celebrated….we want others to show us they care…..we want to be valued and appreciated even if it is only for one day yet we don’t want to feel disappointment.  Birthdays become just another day instead of a celebration of the beginning of our life. I am going to celebrate another birthday after two months. This time, I decide even if I don’t receive one gift or one “happy birthday,” I will still celebrate for myself because I value myself and I deserve it!
