Under pressure

Why?

Why the heck do we celebrate our birthdays?

I mean I don't. Never have, never will.

I'm pretty happy I don't.

Like, what's the reason?

'Oh yay I'm another year closer to being dead.'

That kinda sucks but is also kinda nice depending on how you look at it.

On the one hand, you are a year closer to never watching your favorite TV shows or movies again. Or eating your favorite food. Or walking around town after school or work with your favorite band in your ears, in your favorite season, in your favorite outfit, with your hair looking all good and stuff.

But on the other hand, you will never have to deal money. Or murders. Or death that's not yours. Or one of your parents getting laid off from work. Or your parents deciding that they don't love each other anymore and getting a divorcee. Or your friend stabbing you in the back. Or breaking up with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Or being cheated on. Or laying in bed at 3 in the morning thinking to yourself, 'what have I done in my life that is so great?'. Or thinking to yourself 'maybe I shouldn't be here.. My parents would be better off without me.. I can't do anything right.. Nobody loves me.. My siblings are so great and can/have achieved many great things I can't do that..'

Wouldn't it all be better if we didn't need to worry about that?

But still why do we need to celebrate it?

Even though you might think that nobody will care when you die. Somebody will. They will be upset.

Is that really what you want?

To make somebody sad because you died and now they can't see you? Or hear your beautiful laugh? Or see you smile? Be happy? Sad? Mortified? Petrified? Excited? Exasperated?

Is that really what you want?

Because you're basically counting down the days till you cause somebody pain.

No matter what kind of pain it is, you will cause it by being dead.

Sure sometimes we all want to cause someone some kind or pain.

But do we really want to celebrate the counting down to that day?

Ask yourself that.

Tell me what you think..

Maybe you'll realize something you never did before..
