To be Celebrated

~ Gottfried

We are all here on earth to help others. What on earth the others are here for, I don’t know. Old friend didn’t call me to wish me a happy birthday all day. Later that evening she hit me with ‘I didn’t forget your birthday, I just wanted to prolong the celebration’. She ate that. 

I have a happy personality with a heavy soul, sometimes it gets weird. Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. I was going to quit all my bad habits for the new year but then I remembered that nobody likes a quitter. So I’m keeping them all for you!

Put candles in a cake, it’s a birthday cake. Put candles in a pie, and somebody’s drunk in the kitchen. You know you’re getting old when your year of birth is not easily viewable in the dropdown menu, and you gotta keep scrolling. The beginning of the end. 

You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely. Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional. It is scientifically proven that people who have more birthdays live longer. Every birthday you don’t celebrate means you’re a step closer to dying. 

You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t possibly live long enough to make them all yourself. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. One minute you’re fun and young. The next minute you’re turning down the stereo in your car to see better. 

We do not remember days, we remember moments. Good parties create a temporary youthfulness. The older you get, the better you get. Unless you’re a banana. Celebrating another year of shared giggles, inside jokes, and that one dance move we’ll never master. 

Celebrate everything everyday forever.

  2. Definitely one of your greatest ones. Brilliantly funny. I would even say that you’re showing signs of sagacious wisdom, but then again I would never say that. What am I crazy?
