Did growing up steal our birthday hype?

Hey guys, welcome to my ⭐MAY⭐ blog post.

I was thinking about what topic to choose for this month’s blog post 🤔, and then I realized that my birthday is approaching 🎂.

Every May, I used to be so excited 😆, but as I’ve grown older, that excitement has faded out. So, as usual, I decided to write about it ✍️.

I remember being so excited for my birthday 🎉. I’m born in June, so May was like an exciting countdown ⏳ until my birthday, which is on June 4th, by the way 📅. I remember being so happy 😊 and so excited for it, but lately there has been no excitement.

Is this a part of growing up? 🤷‍♀️

Is this how you are bound to feel as you age?

Honestly, I am not sure.

First, it was like you had to pick your birthday outfit 👗, decide your cake 🎂, and decide how many friends were going to come or call 📞. Now, it feels like just any other normal day 😐. I honestly have lost the enthusiasm for my birthday.

And then I realized something known as birthday depression 💭. I didn’t even know this term existed. And I get that in a way—not that I don’t want to be born or anything—but I don’t want to celebrate 🎈. I don’t see the hype in celebrating it anymore. It seems like any other normal day to me.

For me, I am a lucky one 🍀 because my birthday is always in the holidays, so I never have to worry about school 📚 or exams 📝. It’s always stress-free 😌, and I can always focus on my birthday. There are no external factors that I have to worry about.

I used to be so excited to receive gifts 🎁 on my birthday, and I still am, but it feels boring 😕—not as exciting as it used to be when I was a kid 👶.

So, this is a part of growing up that I don’t like 💔, because you have to let go of that childishness in you. You have to act more mature and grown-up. I don’t want to. Maybe I still want to be the way I am, because with each year that you get older, your responsibilities just increase 📈—personal responsibilities, expectations, and goals 🎯. But then again, it’s a part and parcel of life.

Honestly, they say that your teenage years are the best of your life 🌈, but what they don’t tell you is that these are also transformation years. Especially for a moody person like me 😶‍🌫️, it can get very tough to deal with yourself and to understand yourself. So I would like to keep these years as self-discovery 🔍.

These are your years until 20, where you have to understand yourself—understand your personality, understand how you work, how your brain functions 🧠, and what your thought process is. Because once you understand yourself, you can control the way you respond to things, the way you see a certain situation, your perspective, and your perception 👀.

These are also the peak years 🚀, but you feel that everyone around you is leveling up except you. Everyone has their life sorted except you 😔. And it’s okay to feel that way 💛. It’s normal to be behind, but don’t let it get to you.

Everyone’s way of approaching things is different 🌍, so don’t compare yourself to others. Take one day at a time 🌱.
