Anybody never celebrate birthday?
-
The last time I celebrated my birthday with friends was anout 5 years ago.
After that every year my birthday will be like any ordinary day. In fact, no one except my parents know that it is my birthday.
My friends who celebrated my birthday with me 5 years ago were my poly friends who have lost contact already. In fact, they changed their hp number and did not even bother to tell me until I call their hp number than realise that it is no longer in use. When I email them asking for their hp number, they did not even reply.
And I never even do anything to offend them. Just that after poly I went ns while they are girls so they started working. During the 2 years we seldom contact because each of us have our own life and than they just changed their hp number without telling me.
What kind of friends is this?
My parents although they know its my birthday but they also never celebrate. They just give me $200 for birthday present all the way until I completed ns and start working than every year they don't even give me anything at all.
Is this pathetic?
Anyone here as pathetic as me, having to spend your birthday by yourself and nobody even knows that it is your birthday and that day just went by like any other day?

i dont find birthdays a big deal, so i dont celebrate mine.
-
think u can go n ask ur frens to spend time with you. mi see it as an excuse to spend time with my friends. it does not matter whether they know it's my birthday a not. i just want to catch up with them.

I dont celebrate birthdays. I also tend not to go to birthday celebrations unless its absolutely necessary for me to go.

Has it ever occurred when one is for eg celebrating one's 21st birtday - one is already 20 years dead - gone!
Each birthday is an unconscious effort to forget that it is not one's birthday - but one's death day - ie, one has died one more year! It is in the immediacy of candles, cakes and flowers that one becomes oblivious to what is.

Negativity is denying what is. Accepting what is is not negativity but being cognizant that death can come anytime - Death is a democracy and an equaliser. Hence, the need to live moment to moment and intensely.

yeah death can come anytime but cannot deny that birthday is a gd excuse for celebration too and spending time with friends. i dun deny that death can come anytime. but while we are still living, we have to cherish our lives n the ppl ard us.

Well , i m not privy to ur sufferings but living is both 'hot and cold', 'nite and day', if u can accept what is, live and let go

If you read my first post carefully, you will know that I got no friends and no siblings.My parents won't be sad too when I am gone because they are not close with me.
A more accurate saying is when you die, all suffering is gone.

Not much use. I try to know friends through msn, friendster and facebook too. Give up because they all don't want to meet they just want to chat online only. -

I also don't celebrate birthdays one. But ang pows are always welcomed.
The people who remember my birthday have their birthdays the day before or after mine. My folks remember my birthday, and usually get a cake, but what I really wish is to get a big fat ang pow. -

For my birthday, I buy my own presents. Usually its an impulsive splurge that I will regret in 3 days time.
