Today was my birthday, and it was fine, mostly because it was just another day. I didn't have special plans. In fact, I didn't see anyone today. Other than an avalanche of Facebook wishes, I didn't have to think about birthdays, occasions or celebrations. I ran errands and cooked. I spoke with a few friends. I just got through the day.
I know that life is the right choice, and that aging beats the alternative. I'm grateful that I'm basically healthy and comfortable. I just wish I could find a reason to feel that my choice of life is the right choice.
One day, hopefully not too soon, I'll die. I'll simply cease to exist. I hope that I can find a way to make the time between now and then meaningful. Maybe then, in 2015, I'll feel a reason to celebrate life.
