Yesterday I turned a year older. In all honesty, I may have forgotten if not for the fact that my mum kept on calling the day before, asking to send her more pictures to add to the ones she's planning on posting.
Peep the shoe I made :)
The day started as it always does, we woke up very early to pray. After the prayer, everyone started singing happy birthday, and I just sat there staring and smiling (I mean, what am I supposed to do when they are singing happy birthday to me?). When it was my turn to sing, I forgot my age, lol (as young as I am). I gave the excuse of feeling sleepy.
The rest of the day was pretty ordinary to be honest, at least till in the evening. Kudos to @demilade2all for spending her entire day making sure my cake was done. I told her about my cake plans at about 10pm, a night to my birthday (pretty late, I know). And she was able to buy the materials and produce this beauty before evening.
A few other people came in and we all talked, drank wine, cut cake, prayed, birthday wishes and all that. I even received some monetary gifts. I really enjoyed myself,and I'm sure every one else did.
Ever since I was little I've always found it easier celebrating other people's birthdays than mine. The unnecessary attention, the "birthday boy" tag, calls from relatives you have never spoken to before, it's was always so nerve-wracking. The only part I enjoyed however, was the gifts and the Pampering (who doesn't want to receive gifts and be pampered). But as I'm growing older I'm starting to get comfortable with these family traditions. Like putting your pictures as their dp or the family group chat dp, everyone calling you to check up on you, saying special prayers for you, basically showing you that they actually care. Though this should be done on a regular basis, unfortunately everyone has a busy schedule, they end up forgetting to check up. Thankfully birthdays give them a reason to check up, and catch up on old times.
I received a call from a friend of mine, who I hadn't spoken to for like a year and a half now. We talked for quite sometime and caught up on the good old days. After the call, I asked myself why we hadn't called or messaged each other all this time. I guess it was simply because there was nothing to discuss. And as time flew by, we just got engaged with life activities, we forgot about each other. Birthday's act as a reminder, and a reason to check up on some-one. What do you think about birthday celebration? And also I'd love to hear what you do when people sing happy birthday to you (I need a solution to this before my next birthday. I'm tired of looking lost and smiling like a creep).

Hey, happy Birthday @bos Here's some !PIZZA !LUV and a whole lotta !LOLZ to celebrate 👏 I hear you on the Happy birthday thing. I love singing it to others and love it when my kiddos sing to me but...it feels kinda 'spotlighty' when a whole group sing to you, right? 😂 I always feel like I want to join in with the singing so that I don't feel singled out haha but then that is the whole point isn't it? To celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the person whose birthday it is😍 oh, and I love the cake... a work of art and a show of love from @demilade2all

Belated happy birthday 🎁
Glad you had a good day and you raise a good point that on one’s birthday we often make contact with people we have spoken to for months and that is a good thing
But that said unlike you I still don’t like celebrating my birthday I really don’t like being the focus of peoples attention at anytime and Birthdays sort of force that upon you
I used to every year go on a trip over my birthday often on a hike or go somewhere and pretend I had no phone service ie turn off my phone for the day and effectively hide away
But when I got married almost 20 years ago my wife wouldn’t have any of that lol
I still like to try and have my birthday pass unnoticed but accept it’s important to my family that they want to mark my birthday with me even though I joke each year I am old enough now I have had plenty of birthdays let’s move on lol 😂
But now I ask myself am I being contradicting in that I always want to make others peoples birthdays special
😂😂😂. Why didn't I think of that before? Oh well, too late. I'm beginning to like it now, lol.
:) well, I think it normal to want to make everyone's birthday special. Which is what your family and friends are trying to do by speaking with you, and singing, and all that. So if you think about it that way, who knows you might actually enjoy it
Yeah let me try a different mindset for my next birthday and see how it goes :)
Yes do that.
Happy birthday to you!
Hahahaha, I know that awkward feeling. Sometimes when people wish me happy birthday I get confused and say "same to you" and when they sing I just stare, wondering what I'm supposed to do in that moment. Birthdays are like any other day to me, the only difference is I am reminded of the fact that I'm getting older.
🤣🤣🤣. This has happened to me a few times in the past.
I just smile and hold the urge to sing along. Lol
You should try going out with friends, and or loved ones on your birthday, and doing things you don't do often. It makes growing older a bit more fun.
Yeah, I try to do that. It's fun because friends are more excited about our birthdays than us.
Yeah, they are.
!LOLZ 😂 this was a very funny read and I just kept laughing till the end.
I see your own made shoes, they are amazing art and I say you keep making those until you make one for me 😉
Happy belated birthday to you our shoe maker writer 🤪 just answer it like that.
When next they sing to you on your birthday, try to blush (close your face, open your face and make sure to keep smiling) then make sure not to forget your age next time 🤣🤣🤣
By the way, I love birthdays but I think that love has an expiring date sha... Maybe though 😇
Love the cake, hope you kept my share 🙄 I will take the bigger part 😋
Nicely written, got here through @dreemport
Where do I start. You are a very funny person
Yes oo, I'm looking forward to then.
Yes oo😎, the one and only.
Ahh, I don't think that one will fit me ooh.
It was one time and, I was sleepy 😂
LOL, cake that will soon finish
Sorry for the late reply, was working on a pair of shoes
😂 Was my comment too long and hard to reply? Oops sorry about that 😁
Lemme nor just quarrel for my cake since you're working on a pair of shoe... It may be mine 😉🤣
No, not at all. In fact I enjoyed replying it.
😂🤣Be deceiving yourself
😂 Just allow me to deceive myself at least 😒 until you create mine 😏

Happy birthday! I think that birthdays are something that we should cherish, but it's up to us whether we would celebrate it or not. It's a day that signifies our existence, a day that signifies our unique contribution to the world.
Very true, but where I'm from you don't choose whether you want to celebrate it or not, it's up to your family.
forgot to tell you I came over @dreemport
(I'm not late) Heheh
Happy Birthday Bro... That shoe is a very sharp one. Looking good in it.
