Who can relate to this? as we get older, the excitement on our birthdays decreases, it used to be a lot of fun, but as we get older, the importance of that day decreases as if it's just a normal day.

This is true i thought i was the only one noticing this. I still remember before, we couldn't run out of preparations or food and we used to want a lot of guests to make it more fun, But now I understand why we are not happy on our birthdays, maybe because as we get older our responsibilities also increase so we prefer to rest instead of preparing

Many people can relate to the changing significance of birthdays as they get older. When we're young, birthdays are often eagerly anticipated, filled with excitement and celebrations. Each passing year seems like a milestone, marked with parties and gifts. However, as we age, the significance of the day can change, because as adults, we tend to have more responsibilities, such as work, family, and other commitments. Birthdays may not hold the same level of importance when compared to the demands of everyday life. Yes sad but true!

I can definitely relate to your sentiments about birthdays and how the excitement surrounding them tends to diminish as we grow older. It's not uncommon for many individuals to feel that way as they navigate through different stages of life. As the years pass, our priorities shift, and the significance we once placed on our birthdays may start to fade. But, it's important to remember that this shift in perspective doesn't mean that the day loses its value entirely. While the external celebrations and extravagant parties may wane, birthdays can still hold deep personal meaning and offer an opportunity for self-reflection and gratitude. They provide a chance to pause and appreciate the growth, experiences, and relationships we've cultivated throughout the years. Instead of focusing solely on external festivities, we can choose to celebrate by spending quality time with loved ones, engaging in activities that bring us joy, or even taking a moment for self-care and introspection. Wait , when is your birthday Elsa670 ?

You're absolutely right, and your observations are quite common. As people grow older, their priorities and perspectives often change. The shift from elaborate birthday preparations and large celebrations to a more relaxed and reflective approach is a natural part of this process.
