Ah, Birthdays. I have finally realized this year that the world doesn't stop moving because it's my birthday. I guess I always expected it to. Even now, I'm turning 24, and I still find myself expecting so much on this day, and the days leading up to it. I wonder why that is.. I wonder if everyone has this epiphany or if it's just me.. The birthday that they realize that a birthday is just a day. Every day is someone's birthday. The princess inside me still wants to wake up to surprise flowers and breakfast in bed on this day. I want the world to stop and my floors to be covered in glitter and my favorite album playing when I wake up. I still want to wear a birthday crown and parade around in a new dress and heels all day. But today was just a day. Someone even asked me if I had work today. My reply? "I will NEVER work on my birthday!" So even if the world doesn't stop, I will still play my favorite Beatles albums, have my mom and Dan over to eat cake for breakfast, and wear a birthday dress and heels.
