We all know that everyone in this chaotic world has their own birthday, a day of when a person was born—a day of when a person reach it's "biggest" milestone. A day to celebrate, a day to be thankful and a day to remember.


Most people were excited for their birthday, knowing that in that day they will be receiving a lot of gifts, a lot of love and will be valued for the rest of the day more than how they're being valued compare to their "normal" day. It is sad to say that despite of how pleasurable this event could be, there's these person who learnt not to crave this day and what could happen in it anymore as the time goes by. Compared to those person who is looking for the positive side of this day, there's these people who's being bothered or triggered toward it.


For most people, it is nonsense to celebrate a birthday, yet, they have reached another year of living but is living being ignore or being invisible especially when they tried to be notice, when they tried to call for help, when they need someone to be there and even had no one who cares for them. For them, it is nonsense to make a person feel loved, valued nor appreciated for it's birthday, when the rest of it's life he or she never felt special in any way. Having your birthday is like living your dream life, being the star, center of attraction that you must adore only for the rest of the day as this will be the only time where you'll endure it—that after that 24 hours of joy, you'll be back to your "normal" life, where, again you are invisible to others.


These person hate this thing, we're a person receives so much attention and all only for it's birthday. They don't get the point of sudden insinuation and a sudden absence of someone whom they love after that day. Is it to make a person believe that she/hes's valuable or is it to make the person think that he or she doesn't deserve that attention, love and appreciation he/she wanted to get everyday? Sometimes, they do ask themselves, "Is this really what should I feel when it's my birthday or am I just overthinking and exhausted?". They do ask themselves several questions that they end up not answering because they can't, question after question until they end up blaming themselves.


You know, it is gratifying that we are all still alive and surviving, hitting our own milestone , but it is much more delightful if we do feel valued everyday—putting smiles on our face, not sadness especially on our birthday and be with those right people on our side, so that we can actually call it a "HAPPY BIRTHDAY."
