RE: Contest | 25-Word Comment - Monkey Business | Birthday
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.
