There's something a little bit magical about one's birthday.
The normal things seem to sparkle a little bit; breakfast cereal is suddenly exciting, like it was when you were six, and even being in class at 8am isn't quite as dull. You hold the knowledge that today is special - that you are special - close to your heart, and today you really believe it.
Having a birthday makes me feel younger, makes me want to read all my favourite books over again, and sit outside on a blanket with my journal. It makes me want to write stories and poetry and blog posts, like I'm full to the brim with all the same excitement of turning thirteen, of finally being a teenager, of writing my first novel.
Today is a day on which I feel I can do anything.
Who knows? ...maybe I will. ☺

ReplyDeleteI agree. Birthdays are days on which I open my eyes to see the big picture. I see my whole life (past, future, and present) and consider where I have come and where I am going. There is something so special about taking a day to recognize your progress and growth as a human being. I hope your day is the best of the best!
Thanks, Susanna!! And I love the way you put that - it is a perfect time to reflect, absolutely. :)

ReplyDeleteHeyyy, Happy Birthday!! I hope it was an awesome one. (: Your dog is adorable by the way. And your handwriting!!! Can I have it? PLEASE? You're right, though. Birthdays are exciting. It feels like you're starting fresh on a new something and can't quite tell how it's going to turn out, but it's going to be awesome.
