Birthdays...

Since it is my birthday I thought I'd tell you guys about why I love and hate birthdays. Oh, and in case you were wondering I'm 15! :D

Why I love birthdays

• Spending time with family and friends you've not seen in a while.

I love being able to see old friends and family I've not seen in a while and catch up. Most of the year this isn't possible because people have school and jobs and other plans but when it comes to someones birthday they guarantee the day just for them.

• Confidence

I have no idea why but I'm much more confident on my birthday than the rest of the year. I don't go around talking or acting very confident but I will wake up feeling good about myself and being ready for what the day throws at me.

• Cards!!!

This could be just me but I would much rather get a card than a present. I don't really like taking presents off my friends (family I'm fine with) because I hate knowing they have wasted their money on me when they don't need to. Cards are cheap and cute, you can put cute birthday messages in them that can make someone smile.

• Getting older

Please don't say "yay, one more year closer to death." although it's true but it's also depressing. I love getting growing up. There will a point where I don't want to grow up anymore which I reckon will be when I'm roughly 20/21/22 but right now, as a teenager, I can't wait to get out of these years, they suck. Let's be honest. 

Why I hate birthdays

• Attention 

I'm not the type of person that enjoys attention, I like to know I'm heard by people I love. I don't want everyone to hear me or see me unlike most people at my school. People that want centre of attention seriously need to rethink their life goal. 

• School

My birthday always seems to land on a school day so I'm usually at school for my birthday which sucks. But this year I had lessons that I actually like to look forward to.

• Birthday cake

I hate shop bought cakes, why on earth would you put jam and cream in the middle of the cake! Seriously, are they insane. My parents forget this every year, no matter how many times I remind them they always make the same mistake so I never get to eat my own birthday cake, I normally just have a bit of icing from the top or I'll get a cupcake and put a candle on it for myself.

• Tradition

Don't get me wrong, I love having a few birthday traditions but it seems that it's either the same every year or other people do the exact same thing. C'mon originality people!

This year is I'm 15, which is so much better than 14, I despise the number 14 so much! It seems unfinished, if you get what I mean. The number 15 seems so much more rounded and just overall better xD. I have a problem though a day before my birthday I had injections and a week ago I smashed a mirror... 7 years bad luck and trust me I've defiantly faced the consequences for breaking the mirror. It's been a week and I've already stepped in poop twice, embarrassed myself multiple times, I've also been 1000 times more awkward than I usually am- and I'm pretty awkward already. I'm looking forward to rest of the years bad luck... NOT!
