the month of october heralds my birthday and hence, the dwindling of posts because prior to the 24 hours that are supposed to be mine to celebrate and drink; and subsequently puke away, i get subconsciously intro- and retrospective. they are things that i might not necessarily not want to share here but more often than not find it hard to vocalise and textualise. since i was younger, i've always wondered why people like to celebrate an occasion whereby you age more and hence take on even more responsibilities. specifically on the 29th of october, i sometimes feel like Atlas, the greek god who carried the world on his shoulders until he couldn't. is it a celebration in disguise of self-validation? like oh, i'm living, bah humbug? of course, i understand if one were ill and to live to see another birthday is a milestone in itself but what about the rest of us who are healthy and look birthdays as a better, validated way of frittering away another 24 hours?
