Birthdays

I see some people celebrating their birthday with so many gifts from their friends, their family. One cake here, another cake there, another suprise cake. Photos being posted online, depicting how much they love being celebrated on the day they were born, how much their friends, family appreciate them and love them.

How I wish, for once I could get that.

This year I celebrated my 21st birthday alone, as usual.
Nothing extravagant, nothing special, nothing. Just plain old nothing. As usual.
My friends called, texted. Wrote beautiful messages on social media but it just made me feel even more alone to be in a different city, it hurt more.
All I ever wanted for my birthday is a cake. And a few friends with family gathered. That's all I ever want but being someone like me, someone who always gets pushed aside and forgotten in life, I'm just happy Facebook reminds people to wish me. It's just a day into my life isn't it. :)
