RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Birthday
For me, the birthday theme is always something important. As long as it is about the people I love it occupies great significance in my life. My son's birthday is important, he will always have a nice birthday with a cake and a small family celebration.
<My own birthday, I enjoy it along with messages from those people who have shown me the most affection. At home, my son and I enjoy it with cake, an invitation for lunch or dinner, but always together.
As the years go by, the number of people celebrating a birthday is decreasing. Friends are lost over time. People's presence in our lives fades and memories remain.
Friends are few, the family we have left is the closest. Because even the family becomes smaller, especially in this country where almost everyone has already emigrated.
I remember the birthdays in my childhood so different from today. The entire family was present even if they could not stand another. Next they emigrated, divorced and also the society changed. Not in the mood to travel, gasoline too expensive, better things to do like staying in bed because it rains, watching TV and next the computer arrived and today it's the phone tgat reigns and too busy to rext. 🤔
It's good you keep celebrating, to show you appreciate yourself.
That is what I was saying earlier over there. The younger one person is, the more people are around to celebrate their birthday. The circle of people gets smaller within time. But, it would still be an enjoyable event when celebrated around the ones you care about.

It would be but people also became lazy and are more attached to the screen, complaining about being tired, too tired to travel to pay a visit not to mention buying a present even if you don't care about it. The more luxury and help we have the lazier people get.
I know a car drove at least 70-80 kilometres, phone was rare and the family fought or couldn't stand another but if it was someone's birthday they paid a visit (train, bus, car no matter how big the distance within the country was).
Well, it is maybe that the easier something gets, the less valuable it becomes.
I do not know for sure. But, people used to put a lot of value for birthdays when it was more hassle to arrange one.

Or was it more interesting to gather together, playing games and chat?
Playing games and chat..?
Ummm.. There is no certain age for playing games and chat. At least, that is what I think.
As one get older, tend to change the things they talk about and the same goes for games.
Do you agree?

It is a celebration of life, for me it is important if my true friends celebrate having met me or if on the contrary they just want to have a party.
I don't party anymore, and I do need the message from a true friend.
I have read your replies in this contests and the previous one. I have to say that you know how to deliver a message that can be read as something with a personal touch. It is a bit distinctive.
I said something of that sort as well. I agree, it is like that when someone is so young, this event has more value.

I hope that my personal comment is not unpleasant for what you are used to read.
I tell you that, for me, everything I write has to do with my life experience, I relate it, I tell it and I describe it.
Each of my publications has some personal content, of my life in its different stages, of my triumphs, of my failures. These are the subjects of which I have experience. I also write about the experiences that other people have told me if I leave a message.
In this case let's talk about birthdays, and I have countless memories with dates of this style.

Unpleasant? When was that? I did not see any comment for you that is like that. Even those comments who were not directed to me.
Don't worry about that.
Writing personal content is not for everyone. It depends on someone's style. Some would find it easier and more friendly to do that. Others, prefer to write more of generic content. It depends on you really.

Thank you very much, I hope not to offend when I write. But on some occasions I think I do and that's why I bring it up. Your comment is much appreciated.
I like to write in a personal way, just as I talk to my son, so I write to you who read me. And always in the answers in your comments there will be a recommendation in my personal style.
Long live birthdays!
By the way, when is yours?
#betterlife #wewrite #comment
Yeah that is alright. It is just a personal preference at the end. Isn't it?
Mine was the beginning of this month. I have finished celebrating it. LOL
What about you? When was yours..? Was it enjoyable as before or more?
#betterlife #wewrite #comment
Wow, I don't believe in coincidences but I do believe in destinies. My birthday was also this month, to be more precise it was on the 13th and I still celebrate it. hehehe
I received a lot of congratulations but the ones that pleased me the most are the congratulations from the people that through the years have shown me their love, even if they are on the other side of the continent.
I couldn't celebrate as planned that day because lunch fell so bad, hehehe. So I left celebration for the rest of the week.

Congrats to you! Tye good thing is not much is needed to celebrate.
🥳🤗♥️🍀
Thank you, thank you very much for that compliment. Let's celebrate with pleasant conversation.
Families everywhere are getting smaller. Mine became as I was 10 years old as many emigrated and the divorces started. A good reason to kick out family with their children but I also noticed a change if it comes to openness. No longer the need to introduce if you are new in a neighbourhood, too busy with work to visit the neighbours, a lack of money to go out (dining, cafe, coffee) and stop celebrating birthdays starting with yourself as an adult first, telling yourself you had your chance and children are more important. I see this everywhere around me and at the same the sacrifices made are heavy since it's hard if you always have to give but not even once per year receive attention. Isn't that what birthdays are? Celebrating the happiness that you excist and are valuable to others?
It is clear and accurate what you say, at least I also believe that once a year you should celebrate life and with the people you love the most.
My family was drastically reduced, just my son and me.
At least the two of you are close which you can't say of all families. Mine is also only me and my children although a part of them left the nest and live abroad.
Yes friend, I know you are with your two youngest children and you are also close. You are very good companions. By the way is your son still cooking his dessert recipes?
Yes, my son is still cooking and making mainly chocolate desserts and asian food since he likes more spicy tastes and most of what we buy has no taste at all (even a tomato). He is doing all the shopping which really helps (he eats most of it also hahaha).
He's also at the university next to a job, they call it Duo (something), otherwise we cannot afford it (I truly hope he understood what they explained and no bills show up). He joins an international class, but most of the students are always absent. If you ask me, he is among the future hackers.
He had never had that much free time in his entire school life as he has now, and the atmosphere is at least better, although he still feels frustrated because of the low level.
Those "teachers" are lazy, always absent, and seem to have a very bad memory. Well, you know yourself how they are, how you had to deal with it during the c19 episode.
So by doing nothing, he is the best of the class, the extra points and now he seems to receive and extra monthly bonus for being the best student (getting paid to visit the university after all those years of suffering).
Hopefully, it ends positive? He mainly works at home on his own projects.
I congratulate you because you did a good job with it. You will be everything he wants to be in the future, especially not one more of those mediocre professionals he has had to deal with all these years.
I love chocolate dessert recipes, especially if they have few ingredients and are easy to make. I don't like complicated recipes that have to go through long elaboration processes. In the end, the same dessert ends up being a fiasco.
It's like my son, he also works at home, but in my son's situation, it's because he gets paid better doing line work than going out to work as a computer engineer. He's on his computer all day and then rests at home. I have to push him out of the house because he wants to rest and I won't let him.
Tell your son not to eat too much because he will get a pronounced tummy, hehe.
I tell you that I will stop writing posts for a while. I will limit myself to commenting. I realize that for a week now, no matter how much I write I don't get any votes. I make power up with everything I earn and even with that I can't get any votes, so I'll rest again.
