Since many are marking their country’s “birthday” in the US today, we wanted to ask: How do you celebrate yours? Are you all for a big bash, or more of a low-key birthday boy/girl? – The Daily Post
There’s no party on my birthday. Not when I was a kid nor when I was a young girl. I don’t like any kind of party anyway. I usually settled in “my cave” during my birthday. You can’t find me at the office or at any public area on my birthday. And what do I do in that cave? I think birthday is the right time to look back the days that have gone by whether it’s still on right track or not. There are many important decisions I take on my birthday. I think birthday is a perfect time for contemplation.
