Birthdays Suck

Birthdays Suck!!!

At least I hate them... I have for many years now. I do enjoy celebrating my friends and families birthdays, just not my own. I have one coming up soon and I'm really not looking forward to reaching that milestone in my life. So it got me thinking....

What birthday was your hardest to turn and why?

I honestly think for me, it's how people put so such emphasis on particular years that makes it difficult to swallow

Like turning 18. It's the magical number that gives you independence from your parents and signifies your becoming an adult.

Like turning 21. (At least in the states) Is the magical number that signifies you're legally an adult and really, no longer a teen.

Like turning 25. Oh you're a quarter of a century old now.... Yikes!

Let see how honest we can get....

23 seemed to be significant - I and several friends felt you could no longer consider yourself as just past teens at 23.

After that it was the zero ones. I think 30 was the worst psychologically.

So that on the same day next year, I won't be as depressed!

What birthday was your hardest to turn and why?my 15thi'd rather not say why.

I also havent hit any milestones that have brought me down. I just see it as moving on!

I haven't hit any milestones really. My 18th is in a few months, I don't really care yet. I'm not excited for it at all really. My worst birthday was my 13th. But that was just because it was my first birthday after my dad had passed away.

Every single one, because you realize that you're one year closer to the end of your journey.Just makes me enjoy it more?-I wish.

My 16th birthday. it was depressing enough seeing as I had no party, no gifts no cake and icecream. well there was icecream, but not birthday icecream just some we had from a week before.Parents still ain't taken me to get my permit. and thinking about the fact I'm almost an adult, and fail so much at life and have such little time to recover before I'm an adult was pretty fail

You do sound very depressed. It doesn't seem to me that you fail at life.

It's my 25th today! And I can't say I've had a sucky birthday yet. And I hope today doesn't suck as I have my girlfriend staying over I am a happy man!

Woo-hoo! Happy Birthday, sadbuttrue!!

Thank you very much!

Quote:My 18th is in a few monthsVirtual high-five, me too! ~Happy Birthday sadbuttrue! You only get better as you get older, except if you're a banana! (I read that somewhere a few years ago and have consistently included it in all birthday related correspondance...) (Due to my supreme lack of computer skills, my wishes are nothing as fancy as Inelgible's, but I mean 'em all the same!)

HaPPy BirThDay!

Happy Birthday RocNow that that bullshit is out of the way, I hated turning 26. It was like it was time to be an adult and it was time to put all the fun shit of life away. The fun shit had already been put away for a few years but at 26 the option of pulling it back out once in a while seemed gone.Though it's certainly better than the alternative I don't like being old... soon to be 35. Adults don't know how to have fun anymore. Beyond that every year seems to bring with it fewer and fewer possibilities and then you find your to far in to make a radical change that may actually give your life some spice. Each year about all you can do is work to maintain and hold your place in line for the chopping block while thinking of all the things you want so desperately to experience and realizing more and more with each passing year it just isn't going to happen.Jesus, now I'm depressed. Thanks Roc. Happy friggin birthday.

Happy Birthday even though you don't like them Rik!! My 29th birthday is next week and I think this is a tough one. The manthing is supposed to being moving out next month, I have a mortgage and two kids and I am scared. I think I will drink pretty heavily this weekend and see where that leads me.

Happy birthday you SEXY STUD!! What kind of gift can I give you today??

Thank You everyone... Thank you for all the great birthday wishes.Today was a really good day.Welcome back Rootbeer Boy. We missed you.And Rad... I hope youre not older than me. That would make you really, really old.

I know I'm a day late but Happy Birthday! So far none of my birthdays have hit me hard, but I'll be 29 in several months and I am dreading it. Guess its knowing its my last "20's" birthday.

Thanks Eddie!((((huggs)))))
