24

this year, i want to spend it with Him.
no cake, no friends, no delicious meals.
just Him.
why?
because...
i want to learn the importance of life.
and who better to teach me than the One who gave it to me?

i haven't been very appreciative of life;
actually, that's an understatement.
i've been welcoming the opposite of life.
and if i were to celebrate today with friends,
i'd only be a hypocrite and a fake.
how could i possibly be happy on a day that means nothing to me?

and so, because of this mentality,
i simply cannot celebrate it with anyone.
on this day, i want to be left alone with Him,
to be reminded of what life really means.
cake, friends, meals...
these things will only distract me
from grasping the truth and beauty of life.

i'm not trying to be emo,
i'm not trying to seek pity or sympathy,
i just want to be left alone
just me and my Maker.
