birthdays when do u start dreading them??
u know like how u dread having to pay those credit card bills...u know it's coming and there's nothing u can do about it (Birthday is what i am refering to here)
My 22nd b-day is tomorrow and i am not at all excited.....i feel like life is passing me by and i am never going to accomplish anything...there are people from my class of 05 who have graduated, started a family etc. and yet here i am...going on 22 and never been to college still at my job for 2 years and 3 months...like i am trying not to sound like a downer..like i do live w/ my boyfriend and not under my parents roof which is a plus....but i feel like i need to do something more....
Oh yeah am i am not one who likes to celebrate my birthday b/c ever since my 16th "birthday party" (also the year my mom passed away a month before my b-day) my dad and brother fought over god knows what...and i have never really liked having a party focus on me ever since then....
so here's my topic here...do u dread your birthday?? like there is really nothing anyone can do...u can't stop time...

I'm so sorry that you had to experience your Mom passing away when you were 16. Mine passed when I was 17. It really kills your senior year in high school and it kills the rest of your life if you let it. So you somehow have to realize that your Mom is in a happy place and she is glad it was her and not her losing you, her beautiful daughter. There is little consolation for that loss you've had. Strive for any positive you can find and your birthday is very important because it was the day you were born, without that you would not be here to remind people of "what matters most." ♥

Girl don't be dreading 22! it'll only go down hill.
Just live one day at a time.
I like to think of your 20's as your time to really find out who you are, dont try to accomplish anything too soon.
In my family we dont really make a big to do about birthdays.

Wow this is depressing to read this from a 22 yr. old when I am going to be 46 in August. I love being my age and all the history I have behind me.

I agree, the only birthday I ever dreaded was my 25th because then I wasn't considered a "kid" any more. Now at 42, I am perfectly ok with telling people how old I am because no one believes me, they all say I look like I'm 30. I guess that helps too! LOL But I would rather see another birthday then not to.

oh honey...don't feel that way...when i was ur age i already had 4 or 5 children (although i am only 25) but the moral of the story is it could be a lot worse...you could not have the freedom of children and a husband and dreading ur next bday bc u know it won't compare to the lights being cut of...or the kids bday...or whatever the husband is needing. My childhood also stopped at 16...but i found a way to have a career in spite of the adversities...i am still working on moving up..make tomorrow a day where u decide that u have no "Real" obstacles....and Go for it...whatever ur dream is...what ever u aspire..girl..lookt at it sunny side up!!!

In all honesty, I don't really dread them anymore. For me I dreaded birthdays in my 20's because I wasn't doing what I thought I should be with my life. Now I'm nearly 40 and I couldn't be happier. Bring on the birthdays! Presents, food, cake, alcohol, and an excuse to indulge??? Hey I wish I could have one about once a month! *wink*
38 is fabulous!
