Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up It could stay this simple It Happens to everyone, birthdays come once a day every year. When we were five years old you waited the whole year for your birthday, you have a party with all your friends, family at Chuckie Cheese, ice skating rink, or the park. A table is filled with boxes wrapped up in cool wrapping paper and your peeking to figure out whats inside, seeing if its the brand new toy you want. You blow out the number of candles that symbolize how old you are turning. Unfourtanely that feeling somehow slowly fades away. Birthdays become just another day, don't get me wrong, I wait all year for my birthday and I can hardly sleep that night before but its not the same anymore like it was when I was five. I celebrated my 18th birthday when my family and the ones who love me the most and I am having a birthday party next week, but its not the same anymore. I usually have a feeling of what I want, like money, now instead of ripping of the wrapping paper I find myself reading cards instead. Don't get me wrong I love money, but the excitement that you don't know what you were getting is what I miss. Also I am a summer baby, when I was younger I was jealous of all the kids who had a birthday during the school year because they got to bring in cupcakes and celebrate it in the classroom. As I got older I realized that having a birthday in the summer is a pretty good thing, I got to go on some amazing trips to my birthday and I never had to go to school. But getting birthday parties together was never easy, it was always difficult getting all of my friends together because they would be away on vacation. Today I actually got to see my classmates, since I went to awhich was pretty amazing. For some reason a birthday to me doesn't mean getting money, or gifts, I find myself thinking about my past and how doctors said I would never make this age. Turning eighteen is a huge accomplishment, but to me its like winning the olympics, I made it to a place where nobody ever thought I would make it to.
