DISQUS

I've never been big on birthdays, especially my own. Something about celebrating me and my birth always seemed arrogant or at least self-centered. Recently though, I've come to recognize my life as a web of relationships with other people. Celebrating those relationships is something that makes sense to me, so I try to see birthdays (even my own) as an opportunity to appreciate and thank those who are close to me and have helped make me the person I am.

That's sad. I hope the men in your life provide you more opportunities to love them next week. Or at least that you find other moments of joy and love in your life.
