i must say that though today marks the historic birth of some famous guy 25 years ago, that it is such a young age! i feel healthy.....alive....and most importantly......loved.......
is there anything to look forward to on birthdays such as this??? those epic landmarks?? 16....most ppl can drive....18.....you can make your own decisions(but you have to be able to take responsibility for them) and buy tobacco products...join the military.......21......in the U.S. you can legally partake in alcohol consumption.......i think there is a small drivers insurance break there.....25........a for real insurance break(not that i need it...lol)........after that....what are the birthdays that mean anything??? 30....you are startin to get "old" (sorry nate!) 40......midlifeish age for most ppl?? 50.....half a century......60....70.....80.....just glad to be alive??
what about 28, 32, 46. 53, 78, 94............the birthdays with out that big "landmark" feel?
do they even mean anything?
its a great time to celebrate............spend time.....party even???
but what makes a birthday significant????
when i was younger....i was looking forward to those landmarks......now that i have hit a few of them.....i realize that to me i am kinda missing the point......
i spend one day thinking about the cool thing that i now can do......and honestly....that one thing that i concentrate on....is of so little importance to me......
each day i should concentrate on something monumental.
family....friends.....new experiences.....new opportunities.......good decisions i have made......bad decisions that i will try never to do again......
i dont want to be held back by the days that everyone else says and accepts as "the big days".......i want everyday to be a big day!!!!!
today is still a big day in my life......but then again....tomorrow will be even bigger!!!!
