Birthday month is here....

I'll be turning 30 this year. While my wife is trying her best to hype it up for me, I just don't feel like there is a need to. To her, turning 30 is a very very big deal. Actually, every birthday is a big deal for her. I suppose that's one of the very many cultural differences between us. For me, I just feel like it's the same thing every year.

I suppose why I feel this way is due to a few life events. Me being overseas by myself throughout my teens and early adulthood and having spent a few birthdays by myself have numbed me from being disappointed. Also ever since my dad's passing, I haven't really felt like there's a need to remind myself that I am another year older. I was 20 years old when dad passed. I felt like I was forced to step up and be an adult.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm not saying I am not looking forward to my birthday or I'm being a Debbie Downer for my birthday. I am always grateful for every birthdays as I'm able to live through another year. I just don't like it to make it a big deal because there's so much I have yet to accomplish in life. Making it a big deal will probably make me depressed than happy because for starter, I'm turning 30 and I still live with my momma. I'll probably blog a bit more about that cause that's something that's been on my mind for a while.

Either way, the day will still come. It'll still be awesome. Because every day is awesome.
