This isn't so much about birthdays themselves as it is about people's reaction to birthdays. Let's be honest, a birthday is just another day that's part of another week/month/year. But there's something special about it in that it's an occasion for all of your friends to tell you how much they appreciate you and being in your life. This post is about that.
I recently had a birthday (December babies hell yeah) and got to be honest, I'm kind of over them just in general. Even the Facebook posts are worn out, there's only so many times I can say "thank you, hope you're doing well too!" But after work I had a couple friends over and we played games and talked shit all night and it was lovely.
Showing appreciation for your friends is so important. Not just on their birthdays, but those dates can serve as a handy reminder. It makes even the most jaded cynic happy and excited (case in point: me).
So reach out to your pals on their birthday, and year-round if you can remember. But especially on their birthday.
