There are so many memories worth celebrating. Memories that bring us joy, and measure our growth, connections, and survival, among these are anniversary that makes us reflect, cherish, and celebrate our journey. Since the beginning of this year, I have been anticipating two anniversaries that are so important to me. My birthday and my bestie's birthday and marriage anniversary.
Birthday holds a special place in my heart. It is a day of reflection and appreciation, we get to appreciate God, our wonderful parents for bringing us into this wonderful world, and our friends who stood by us. It is so worth commemorating. That day is meant to be filled with happiness; I would say it's one of the happiest days I look forward to every year. I always find myself smiling all through with the many loves around me. It's a day to set aside worries and appreciate people who took out time to celebrate with you.
Birthday means a lot to me, especially celebrating with close friends and family, it marks the day I was born, the beginning of my journey on Earth. It's a privilege. Whenever my birthday approaches, I feel a mix of excitement and anxiety especially now that I am getting older. I tend to reflect on my life and what I have achieved so far. Did I get to fulfill what I planned for the past year? is there any improvement from the past year? It can be frustrating sometimes as there is always room for improvement.
Every birthday looks like a new beginning, we get to start afresh with new goals set in mind for the year. The addition of a year can be so overwhelming and sometimes packed with responsibilities on our shoulders, some seek to get married, some to get their desired work, some to make enough money, some to find love, some to level up, and many more. We try to fix whatever is lacking in our lives
I have always wished to celebrate my birthday in a big way since childhood and I am still wishing. Most of my birthday celebrations are with my family and friends, we eat, drink, and pray, which I cherish so much. Also, when my birthday falls in school they usually surprise me with alert to take myself out and I have always been grateful.
My birthday celebration this year would be different, with a lot of unforeseen circumstances that might change my location. I plan on taking myself out and also buying gifts for myself that's if I am in a new place. If am with my family and friends, a small get-together for the celebration would do. We get to talk about memories, reflect on our past, cheer for a better year ahead, say words of prayer, dance, eat, and be merry.
Another anniversary that I am looking forward to is my friend's birthday and wedding anniversary. Last year she got married same date as her birthday☺️☺️. Two occasions to celebrate on that special day. She is a friend who turned sister, It has been great knowing her. She's a strong, supportive friend, always asking me about my plans and helping me out with it. Though I would say the bond is nothing like when she was single she remains my best girl.
I asked her recently about her plans for the celebration and she told me it would be big. I have a party to plan with her and I am so excited. I am still deciding on what to get for her, I really want it to be special.
