My Birthday is Coming Up Next Month
Next month we will be celebrating a second year on our travel blogs – I still can not believe that two years have passed since we started our first travel blog.
In some ways it feels like we have been doing it for much longer, in other ways these two years have flown by like nothing else.
Time goes a lot faster these days than it did when I was a child – I remember adults always talking about how fast time passes, especially during Christmas.
They always seemed to surprised that Christmas was “already there”, and I felt like December was the longest month of the year.
I was looking forward for christmas eve for twenty four days, which is nothing when you are an adult but a long time when you are a child – for some reason.
Maybe because the days look very similar for kids, and they do not really have anything to do, time passes slower – but I do not remember being bored very often.
I prefer it when time goes slowly, it makes you feel like you have more to enjoy.
I think that is why many people hate their birthdays, which also by the way feel like they are closer and closer every year.
My birthday is coming up next month, and while I used to long for this day as a child, it realy does not mean much these days.
Maybe because I do not get any presents anymore, the past four years I have celebrated my birthday in a different country, and I can not remember the last time I had a birthday cake.
It is funny how those superficial and material things can make such a difference to your birthday.
But you are brought up to believe that what makes a birthday special is the cake and presents, nothing else.
