Week 21

I'm not much of a romantic. My birthday is on Valentine's Day, so the "day of love" has kind of ruined my birthday experience. Nobody remembers my birthday unless I remind them. At school, all the people around me are freaking out over their dates. They all want everything to be perfect and mushy and romantic, but I just want a proper birthday. I never get to have my birthday party on my birthday because all of my friends have plans for Valentine's Day dinner with their significant other. My birthday party always has to come the weekend before my birthday or the weekend after it. I've learned to accept the fact that Valentine's Day is important to everybody while my birthday is really only important to me. For some people, having no attention on their birthday would sound amazing, but it's nice to be noticed every once in a while...especially on one's birthday.
