Birthday woos

When you hype up an event, don’t you find that it’s sort of a let down in the end? For me that’s always my birthday, I make it out in my mind that it’s going to be this amazing and great jam packed day of just love and celebration when usually it’s just like writing “ Happy Birthday” on your facebook wall.

Not saying that Birthday’s aren’t worth it, you have to face the inevitable. It’s going to happen so you might as well embrace it. I think it’s all about planning and just expecting for the unexpected. Don’t make it out to be this big celebration because you might be truly let down by the results. For me to make it special all I need is just a great supper with my family, who love me dearly. But also I need my celebration with my friends, since the majority of us are all actually the same age we know what’s going on. I am born a little late in the year since I am a fall baby, it means that most of my friends have been a year older for a bit now and well they seem to be doing okay so why can’t I do that!

Best way to not be disappointed:

• Don’t make unrealistic expectations, so plan something simple like a supper with friends and family. If you are the type of person who wants the bigger parties, then go for it but make sure you have your head on straight that things could definitely go wrong.
• Make sure to have a back up plan of what you want to do, couldn’t get a reservation at the restaurant that you want, then think of another cool place you haven’t tried and go there instead.
• Spend time with who you want to on your birthday, it’s your day spend it with who matters most to you
• Remember that not everyone knows that it’s your birthday, so some people aren’t going to be in a happy mood because they don’t know, some stranger might have a bad day and you might be in the way of it
• Last tip is SMILE, it is your birthday, have a good day, think positive of everything, don’t worry about what might happen, just live it moment by moment because you are starting on another year of your life and do you really want it to begin with you upset and worried, NO. So smile, enjoy it and start a good year!
