Remember when you were a kid and how excited you would become about your birthday approaching? I remember when I was 12 I was excited about turning 13 because I would officially become a teenager. I also recall how excited I was about turning 18 because I was about to be an "adult". And, of course, how could I forget about how excited I was when I turned 21 because I could finally drink legally in the United States (however, I was in Turkey on my 21st birthday).
Ah yes, those were the days. But now, getting a year older just depresses the hell out of me. It just reminds me that my youth is over and I am just one year closer to death. Morbid thought, I know. I look around me and think about all of the things I should and shouldn't have done with my life. I feel like the clock is ticking fast and I am simply running out of time to do the things that I wish to do. Time is just moving too fast.
I made the decision not to celebrate my birthday with friends or anyone else because I don't feel like celebrating. Instead, I will probably get 6 pack, a pack of smokes, and wallow in self-pity on this day (and wish this day would pass really fast).

Happy Birthday, my leo friend.... I hope you enjoy that 6-pack and quit smoking in your new year....
Cheers,
Happy Birthday from Yerevan. Know how you feel, and not least because I just turned 39 and figured it was time to boycott such days -- even if they were my own, and friends tried to insist otherwise.
Thank you Infidel'cim and Onnik.
Onnik, 39 hit me hard too. Boycotting really is the way to go!!
happy Birthday, you have the same birthday as my best friend!
He...life is not over!!!
Kindest
Thanks, Hans. I hope your friend had a great birthday.

Thanks, DBA. It looks like a big birthday month for Turkish bloggers!
i know exactly how you feel... I'm only 33 but the life expectancy of men in some 3rd world countries are not even 50 years old.. so i have hit a mid life crisis if i was living in a 3rd world country.. :(
