              Happy belated birthday. I remember you once said to me that you don't think of your birthday as a special day you just see at as day when you were born at that time I thought how dare you take something  for so granted. You always have the perfect birthdays. Your friends start wishing you days prior. The group chats are flooded with your birthday wishes for days. You always get the best surprises, best gifts. And yet you dare say that it's not a special day for you. But after a lot of thought I came to the conclusion that people like you, who have it all, days like birthdays does not mean so much to you because you are used to being the apple of everyone's eye. 

I wish I could say the same. 

I remember a year or two back when I was still in touch with my friends, my birthday was around the corner. I was so excited because everyone were wishing my other friend a day before when it was her birthday. So just a day before my birthday I told everyone with excitement that how excited I am for my birthday tomorrow, and everyone were making demands for the chocolates that they wanted and I got them all exactly what they wanted. When we met the next day I was waiting for them to wish me, I waited and I waited but those wishes never came. So I pulled put their chocolates from my bag and that's when they realized that it was my birthday. So they wished me, took their sweets and just went on with their day.

Well it's just one of the things that happened with me on my birthday. I have a whole list.

But it doesn't matter anymore because birthdays don't excite me as much as they used to do. So when I saw everyone going crazy about your birthday I didn't wish you. As if it would have mattered if I did

You already got a load of wishes so I want to save mine for some other day for some other person, someone as petty as me.
